Delano's Day of Action

In June, Delano's LGBTQ+ Alliance held a day of action to celebrate Pride Month. Activities included speakers, a 2-mile march, and a healing circle. Read Marivel Servin's experience leading up to and participating in the celebration, and the commitment young people are making to create a culture that readily includes the LGBTQ+ community.

Lamont Farmers Market Is A Smashing Success

Thanks to young volunteers from the Lamont Boys & Girls Club and the Greenfield Walking Group, the Lamont Farmers Market earlier this month was a great success. Eight to ten youth from each organization braved hours in the hot sun to help more than 400 people select fresh produce for their families. Also contributing were adult volunteers from BHC-Kern partners Committee for a Better Arvin, United Farm Workers, Visión y Compromiso, and Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability. Promotoras were on hand handing out water to those waiting in the extremely warm temperatures. It was truly a collaborative event!"
