Thank you so much for your continued support – it means the world to us!
We are grateful to the extraordinary dedication, amazing skill and care of our volunteers, community partners, staff and YOU. Because of you, Colectivo CARE continues to flourish! All clinics are free of charge and farmworkers and their families are able to receive acupuncture, ear seeds, chiropractic and massage in any combination of their choosing.
However, we have had challenges.
We paused clinics in February to meet with our leadership team, community partners and staff to brainstorm and educate ourselves, to find the best way to run our community clinics. Together, we persevere to continue to provide free, high quality integrative healthcare to the farmworker community starting once again in March. Since starting again in March, Colectivo CARE has provided nearly 200 treatments to the farmworker community.
The farmworker community, besides experiencing inadequate nutrition, terrible living conditions and limited health insurance ALSO produce 1/3 of the vegetables, 2/3 of the fruits and nuts and 90% of all strawberries grown in the United States.
For all their incredible, essential work, the very least we can do is demonstrate the commitment to them that they provide to us, enduring extreme pain and stress, so we have food on our tables!
Farmworkers and their families deserve better!
If you're able, please provide your financial support - it will help change lives.
Thank you for all you do to make the world a healthier, more compassionate place for everyone!
