As the Half Moon Bay’s farmworker community is reeling, support and donations are flooding in from around the Bay Area.
“We've been working with these farms for a long time. These families have children, have grandparents and each one has their story,” said Veronica Rodrigurez, ALAS board of directors president. “We’ve been dealing with these families through floods, and COVID.”
“Unfortunately this is happening more and more. But when they are in such need already, it’s even more important that we step forward and do something,” said Rodriguez.“It’s a tragedy that really hits close to home, after everything that’s been happening in the Bay Area,” said the Redwood City resident.
