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.
