Farm workers in Yuba and Sutter County in Northern Calif. have a place to go for the many challenges that face them day-by-day. Of course, the winter months mean not only limited employment, but also increased gas & electric bills, poor living conditions and health care issues. Western Farm Workers Association is community-based operation that survives on donations and volunteers only. They provide in-take interviews for each individual, provide emergency food if necessary and address the concern of each person on a case-by-case basis. They also help the local community celebrate the holidays, with gifts for children and dinners that serve up to 400 people.
