Many farmworkers have smartphones, which they use to stay in contact with their spouses and children. We provide free WIFI services to enable them to use Skype to call home.

Farmworkers asked for medical assistance after work hours in order to avoid an income loss and needed assistance of a Spanish language interpreter.

Father Antonio celebrates Sunday services at the different parishes that host the Project and in the seasonal migrant farmworker residences in the farmlands.
