Thank you for standing with us. We are deeply grateful for all the ways you support this work.
As we enter our next three-year grant cycle, Colectivo CARE—founded by Livity Rising, Integrative Healers Action Network, and Acupuncturists Without Borders—is expanding to meet growing community needs. Alongside our 20 mobile clinics providing over 2,100 treatments annually, we’re now launching 20 wellness circles focused on stress and pain reduction. These group sessions offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care and self-care tools to support community well-being.
We continue to operate in a landscape of shifting and increasingly complex immigration policies that directly impact farmworkers and their families. These challenges require us to stay flexible and responsive — changing how and where we provide services to keep clinics safe, accessible, and trusted.
Still, Colectivo CARE shows up. And we will continue to do so — because the farmworker community wants and needs this care.
Despite being essential to our food supply — producing one-third of all vegetables, two-thirds of fruits and nuts, and 90% of U.S. strawberries from California alone — farmworkers face immense barriers: limited healthcare access, inadequate housing, and minimal insurance.
This stark contrast between their contributions and the conditions they endure is exactly why our work matters — and why your support is so critical.
Thanks to you, we remain flexible, expanding outreach and adapting care to meet the needs of the community. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished — and we know there’s more to do.
Please continue supporting this work. Together, we’re building a safer, healthier, and more compassionate future for farmworker families.
