Our strength is our culture, our strength is our generosity, our strength is our family, our strength is our unified voice. We don’t know all the challenges that lie ahead but we do know no matter what that we’re in this together. CFF, in partnership with agricultural companies and healthcare organizations throughout the State of California, have announced numerous social and public health initiatives for Farmworkers.
CFF In The News
Couch's Corner- Bakersfield
While others put a dollar figure to the county for the work they were offering to help with testing, CFF has done it for free for all of 2020, out of a commitment to serving their constituents and being part of the solution. This is unheard of in these times and highly appreciated. CFF is averaging 1,000 tests per day, 5 days per week. This is a huge accomplishment and an important component in helping Kern County reach its goals.

In preliminary data shared by the California Farmworker Foundation, half the farm workers surveyed said they were willing to take the vaccine while nearly 35 percent were not. Fifteen percent had not yet decided. Hernan Hernandez, the group’s executive director, said he’s been lobbying state and federal politicians but is worried that farmworkers have been reluctant even to get tested and won’t take advantage of the vaccine — even if they’re near the front of the line.
