Following an annual tradition going back over a decade, the Dolores Huerta Foundation plans to provide holiday meals for DHF Vecinos Unidos (Neighbors United) Families. Many of these Vecinos are frontline essential workers who labor daily to keep our families fed and cared for, sometimes at great personal risk to themselves and their own families. Many have experienced financial hardship as a direct result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Yet, continued to give their personal time volunteering to make a difference and bring about positive change in their communities.
Throughout the pandemic, the Vecinos Unidos have been active in:
· Distributing food to families in need.
· Advocating for just and equitable education policies in response to the Covid19 pandemic.
· Promoting robust participation in the 2020 Census by reaching out to neighbors and hard-to-count communities to ensure a full count.
· Educating voters and encouraging participation in the critical recent elections.
Join us in thanking the Vecinos Unidos members and showing our appreciation for all they do to improve the neighborhoods and towns they live in!

April 10th, 2020 marks Dolores Huerta’s 90th Birthday. As president, she has led Dolores Huerta Foundation (DHF) in organizing politically disempowered, low income, immigrant, and farmworker communities for over 15 years. DHF has a respected and proven track record of affecting policy and forcing structural transformation that builds power and improves daily lives. DHF is uniquely positioned to address the needs of the most vulnerable families in this COVID-19 crisis.
DHF staff have been working from home to advocate for educational and economic resources such as food security and access to technology for low income students. DHF is working with a statewide coalition, End Childhood Poverty CA, on statewide advocacy for income support for impoverished families, regardless of immigration status, to make sure those most in need are covered by state and federal emergency funds. DHF is continuing outreach to hard-to-count communities to secure essential funding for public services for the next 10 years by getting everyone counted in the 2020 Census.
Dolores is raising funds to help communities who are in dire need and would be honored if you could celebrate her birthday with her and be a champion for these underserved populations.
Please join us on Saturday, May 30th, 2020 for a 90th Birthday Celebration and Live-stream Benefit!
This remote-attendance party will feature a roster of special guests, including Jane Fonda, Cristela Alonzo and Tim Robbins, for a night of entertainment and activism.
