San Jose nonprofit, Farmworker Caravan, is bringing holiday joy to the kids of farmworkers - a group that oftentimes goes forgotten.
"There's not a single person in America that does not benefit from a farmworker," Tenes told ABC7 News.Tenes said the Farmworker Caravan provides emergency supplies to a group that is often forgotten. During the holiday season, the caravan shifts focus to the kids of those farmworkers - from toddlers to 17 year olds.
She credits the many groups and individuals who come together to make this happen. The effort puts the packages into the hands of children of ag workers across Half Moon Bay, Watsonville, Salinas, Hollister, Monterey and elsewhere. It's the reason why donation drop-off locations span the region, from Monterey to San Mateo Counties.
What many might see as a simple stocking, is something cherished by children who may otherwise not receive much.
