As a proud partner of the Puentes Network, California AgrAbility recently co-hosted Noche de Lotería, a Spanish-language community event designed to foster connection, education, and fun. Community members came together for an engaging evening filled with fun, prizes, and valuable learning opportunities. The event promoted social connection and provided resources in a culturally relevant and welcoming environment.

California AgrAbility partnered with the Migrant Education Program to conduct outreach to cherry harvest workers in the California Delta region. Migrant, seasonal, and H-2A farmworkers received information on arthritis, diabetes, heat illness prevention, and mental health. This collaborative effort aimed to support the health and well-being of agricultural workers during the busy harvest season.
