California Farmworker Foundation Announces Family Resource Center in Delano, Marking a Historic Milestone 10 Years in the Making
DELANO, CA — The California Farmworker Foundation (CFF) today celebrated the official launch of the CFF Family Resource Center in Delano, California — a transformative milestone more than a decade in the making. The announcement was made at a Community Welcome Event bringing together farmworkers and their families, local elected officials, nonprofit partners, community leaders, and residents from throughout the Central Valley.
Designed as a comprehensive one-stop hub, the CFF Family Resource Center wil provide farmworker families with direct access to a wide range of critical wraparound services, including healthcare resources, workforce development, digital literacy training, food assistance, immigration support services, family wellness programs, and other community-based resources designed to improve quality of life and expand opportunity. Farmworkers are the backbone of California’s agricultural economy, yet many families continue to face significant barriers to accessing essential services. The announcement of the CFF Family Resource Center represents a meaningful and long-overdue investment in the health, education, and future of the communities that help feed the state and the nation.
The Center’s launch comes after years of community engagement, partnership-building, and strategic planning led by CFF staff, board members, and regional stakeholders. The facility will be set to open late Summer and welcoming farmworkers and their families throughout the Delano area and greater Central Valley.
Today marks a defining moment for the California Farmworker Foundation and for our communities. For ten years, we have worked tirelessly toward a vision of a place where farmworker families can walk through the door and find the support they need to thrive — not just survive. The CFF Family Resource Center is that place. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of farmworker families, and a promise that their contributions to California will not go unrecognized or unsupported.
When I founded the California Farmworker Foundation, I had one unwavering belief: that farmworker families deserve access to every resource available to help them build a better life. This Resource Center is the fulfillment of that promise. It belongs to this community — it was built for them, by people who believe in them, and it will serve them for generations to come.
The announcement of the CFF Family Resource Center is a story about what is possible when a community refuses to be overlooked. Farmworker families have long carried the weight of California’s agricultural industry, and it is past time they had a dedicated space that honors that contribution and offers them the resources and dignity they deserve. We are proud to announce this milestone and invite our entire community in.
