CARE - Community Alliance for Resilience & Equity

In November, we reached an incredible milestone: over the past four years, Colectivo CARE has provided 10,000 free treatments to members of our local community. This achievement is a direct result of your generosity and unwavering commitment. During extraordinary and often uncertain times, your support has made it possible for this work not only to continue, but to grow. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you.

We are currently in our next three-year grant cycle, and Colectivo CARE—founded by Livity Rising, Integrative Healers Action Network, and Acupuncturists Without Borders—continues to expand in response to increasing community need. With your support, we are launching a new initiative this year focused on serving elders over the age of 60. This program is designed to reduce chronic pain, improve mobility, and strengthen overall well-being for an often-overlooked population.

In addition, donor support allows us to expand to include self-care education. These group sessions provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care and practical self-care tools that empower individuals and strengthen community well-being.

Our clinics continue to operate amid increased enforcement activity that directly impacts farmworker families. We remain flexible and responsive—adapting how and where services are delivered—to ensure clinics remain safe, accessible, and trusted spaces. Your support enables us to respond quickly and thoughtfully to these changing conditions.

For years, farmworker families have faced difficult working conditions, environmental health risks, and limited access to healthcare, despite being essential to our nation’s food supply. Colectivo CARE provides integrative health clinics that offer care without judgment, questions, or fear—care that many families would otherwise be unable to access. This is why your support means the world to us.

We are profoundly grateful for everything farmworkers and their families contribute, and we are honored to serve this resilient community with your partnership.

We are proud of what we have accomplished together—and we know there is more to do.

Together, we are building a safer, healthier, and more compassionate future for farmworker families.

Thank you for your continued generosity and belief in this work. We are deeply grateful for your support.

Thank you for standing with us. We are deeply grateful for all the ways you support this work. 

As we enter our next three-year grant cycle, Colectivo CARE—founded by Livity Rising, Integrative Healers Action Network, and Acupuncturists Without Borders—is expanding to meet growing community needs. Alongside our 20 mobile clinics providing over 2,100 treatments annually, we’re now launching 20 wellness circles focused on stress and pain reduction. These group sessions offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care and self-care tools to support community well-being.

We continue to operate in a landscape of shifting and increasingly complex immigration policies that directly impact farmworkers and their families. These challenges require us to stay flexible and responsive — changing how and where we provide services to keep clinics safe, accessible, and trusted.

Still, Colectivo CARE shows up. And we will continue to do so — because the farmworker community wants and needs this care.

Despite being essential to our food supply — producing one-third of all vegetables, two-thirds of fruits and nuts, and 90% of U.S. strawberries from California alone — farmworkers face immense barriers: limited healthcare access, inadequate housing, and minimal insurance. 

This stark contrast between their contributions and the conditions they endure is exactly why our work matters — and why your support is so critical.

Thanks to you, we remain flexible, expanding outreach and adapting care to meet the needs of the community. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished — and we know there’s more to do.

Please continue supporting this work. Together, we’re building a safer, healthier, and more compassionate future for farmworker families.
