"Food security project that helps farm workers springs from ashes of wildfires"

"The average farm worker’s take-home pay in the state is below $25,000 a year, according to state data. 'It’s pretty devastating that the same population that ensures America is being fed, that a big chunk of them are food-insecure,' Lopez said. 'And it’s no secret that a majority of that workforce is from Mexico or Latin America.'

Yet many of these families aren’t able to access federal assistance, like the Supplementary Nutrition Access Program (Snap), to help buy groceries every month. At least 1.2 million low-income immigrants across the US, including legal permanent residents, are shut out of this essential food aid program due to immigration status.

'Immigration status is connected to everything,' Lopez said. 'There’s so many doors that are shut for you, like Snap benefits, healthcare services, social security benefits – even if you have worked there your entire life.'

Activists are pushing for change."
