“Most likely not a lot of people are working right now," Gerardo Lopez said. "And not enough money to take home to buy food, so it’s really good to get some food right now.”
The food was meant for farmworkers, but clinic employees said they haven't turned anyone else away. They said they understand the need for help expands beyond workers in the agriculture industry right now.
