California Farmworker Foundation Hosts Its 4th Annual Hand to Harvest
10 Years of Impact: One Unforgettable Evening and an Inspiring Future Ahead
What an incredible evening!
Thank you for joining us at the California Farmworker Foundation’s 4th Annual Hand to Harvest Dinner & Fundraiser. Your presence, your generosity, and your energy reminded us what makes this community so special.
This year’s celebration felt especially meaningful. Ten years ago, CFF began with a simple belief: that education and opportunity can transform the lives of farmworkers and their families. On September 26, 2026, at the CFF Family Resource Center in Delano, we saw what that belief has made possible. Supporters traveled from throughout the state to share inspiring stories, give generously, and commit to building better futures for the people who feed our communities.
Thanks to you, we raised $150,000 to support the essential programs CFF provides. Your generosity will directly power:
- Mobile health clinics that bring care to farmworkers where they live and work
- Educational workshops that open doors to new skills, confidence, and opportunity
- Food distributions that put meals on family tables
The evening included a special awards presentation recognizing partners and individuals who have made a lasting difference in the lives of farmworkers.
Congratulations to our honorees:
CopperPoint Insurance • Central California Food Bank • Grimmway Produce Group • Tony Gonzalez • Dr. Trinidad Solis • Sindia Martinez • Darrell Muniz • Enrique Contreras, your dedication to CFF’s mission inspires us all.
An Evening of Excitement
Our live auction, led by local auctioneer Bennet Mabane, had the room cheering. Bidders competed for one-of-a-kind experiences, including golf experiences, concerts and sporting events, and Greek Island getaway. The excitement continued with a raffle for a 4-day trip to Mexico. Thank you to every bidder, buyer, and fan who brought the energy!
