"Volunteers deliver food to farmworkers afraid to leave homes"
"'I see them and I can relate to them. I feel, you know, that it, it, it could have been me,' Guillen said.
She too worked in fields from a young age.
'I was a farm worker probably from the time I was about 6 years old till I was a junior in high school,' Guillen said. 'Up and down the State of California. We would pick carrots, walnuts, strawberries, just different crops all year round.'
The deliveries themselves are quick. The boxes are filled with essential items.
'It's a lot of the basics. They, they have rice, fideo, cans of tomatoes, oatmeal,' Guillen said."
