3. What makes us special?
The families we serve. They believe in the American dream and work
hard to achieve it. Our programs, therefore, work with the families by
operating seasonally to meet their needs as they harvest our nation's
fruits and vegetables. We ensure that our programs are bilingual and
comprehensive - offering adults, as well as children, the
opportunities to learn and grow.

4. Why does this matter?
The
families we serve put safe, healthy, and affordable food on America's
tables. The Head Start we provide children saves public education
funds by sending children who are prepared to succeed, with pride in
their native languages and cultures, and a strong desire and
foundation to be the future leaders of our country.
