California Farmworker Foundation

🌟CFF President Spotlight!🌟 Joe Garcia launched his business in 2005. During peak season, he employs around 3,500 people, most of whom are farmworkers. Coming from a farmworking background, Joe aimed to actively support farmworkers by establishing a non-profit organization focused on their upliftment. In 2016, he founded the California Farmworker Foundation to enhance the lives of farmworkers. Over the past eight years, this initiative has reached and supported more than 300,000 farmworkers. On December 14, Joe graduated from the Business Scaling Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business. This program is part of the Latino Business Action Network, involved a nine-week course designed to inspire business owners and non-profit leaders to reexplore their strategies and embrace lifelong learning. Joe was one of 44 graduates who are making impactful contributions to communities across the nation, fostering growth that will benefit future generations. Let us come together to celebrate this remarkable achievement of Joe Garcia. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments!👏✨ #CFF #BuildingBetterFutures
