Our CHWs deliver food boxes to families 

Our Community Health Worker Program at Familias en Acción coordinates and delivers food to Latino/x/e families in the greater Portland-metro area. Our Community Health Workers (CHWs) deliver 30-50 food boxes to families every two weeks. 

The program partners with Gonzalo Garcia Reyes, owner of Lomita Farm, to provide locally grown produce to families. Every delivery, families are receiving fresh vegetables, recipes, and fact sheets to learn more about their produce. 

In September, Familias began a new partnership with Clay Street Table, which adds culturally-specific pantry staples to our produce deliveries. We want our families to have vibrant, full meals on their tables!

Familias en Acción wants to express gratitude to Lomita Farm and Clay Street Table for their partnership. Their continued support, commitment, and cooperation has made our food box deliveries so successful for our families. With their help, we have delivered over 350 food boxes over the last few months. 

Muchísimas gracias for the important role that you both are playing in the Latino/x/e community! And a big shoutout to our CHW Program team for coordinating these efforts.
