Our Approach

Rooted in Community

Holistic approach covering areas including Health, Food, Housing, Education.

Every Initiative Born from the Voices of Our Campesinx Familia

At the heart of our work lies a simple truth: our community knows best. Every program we launch is born from direct conversations and deep listening with our campesinx community. We don't just create programs for our people – we build them together, ensuring each initiative directly addresses the real needs and aspirations of our community members. This approach transforms traditional service delivery into a powerful movement for collective change, where each program strengthens our shared vision for the future.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "One of the first things that struck me about Hijas del Campo is that they listened to the farmworkers and their families – and quickly understood the irony that the people who harvest our food and their families are themselves food insecure. Equally important, Hijas acted and acted effectively. They secured individual donations and began buying and distributing culturally appropriate food. They quickly grew to address a host of vital needs for vital workers. This is an organization that deserves as much support as we can muster.”

    Lillian Roselin, Former Executive Director

  • "We have worked with Hijas del Campo for 2 years now and I never cease to be amazed at how effective they are. They were right there to get our farm workers vaccinated early in the pandemic, and they gave followed through with multiple vax clinics. Marivel and her crew provide much needed services to our workers who are often overlooked and unappreciated. I am so grateful for all that they do."

  • "Marivel Mendoza and Hijas Del Campo have committed their lives to improving our communities in Contra Costa County. It has been an honor to witness their tireless efforts firsthand, they are saving lives daily in our historically marginalized communities."

  • "It is inspiring and an honor to work with the Hijas leadership and to be able to witness their unwavering dedication and commitment. Together, we were able to bring vaccines to our hardest to reach populations and in a way that meets our community where they were at. Our shared approach was about providing targeted, low barrier access based on an understanding that our communities have specific challenges and deserve easier access to correct information and navigating vaccine resources."

  • “Connecting with Hijas del Campo was the best thing that happened to Frog Hollow Farm during the Pandemic.Not only did they show up in the field on the hottest, smokiest days with iced lemonade, hydration packs and extra masks, but they fought hard to get farmworkers in our county first in line for vaccinations.Hijas has built incredible trust with our community and we are so grateful to be able to turn to them for support! We look forward to deepening our relationship in the years to come.”

  • "As a LatinX Brentwood resident, I had the honor of learning of Hijas Del Campo and enlisted HOLA for us to combine forces to make a powerful impact. The annual Lenovo notebook give away events/panel discussions HDC coordinated, the upcoming resource fair and the expanding plans for a continuing partnership is from a mutual desire to make a compelling difference. HDC’s fierce dedication to service is what made this organization standout nationally as a critical pillar at the local level. Lenovo will continue to support and encourage HDC’s mission to make material change to the lives of our campesinx community."
