eTradeWire News/10569910
Growers were quick to respond when SEEAG put out the call for produce donations.
VENTURA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) organized produce donations from 13 different growers to fill over 4,000 bags of fresh produce for farm workers in need. The produce was distributed weekly in April and May.
Participating growers were Gill's Onions, Houweling's Group, San Miguel Produce, Earthtrine Farm, Saticoy Lemon Association, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Petty Ranch, Calavo, Mission Produce, Tamai Family Farms, Fig Tree Farms, Chivas Skin Care and Bennett's Honey Farm.
Growers were quick to respond when SEEAG put out the call for produce donations. "We want to thank our local growers for their tremendous generosity. They know that this has been a stressful time for our farmworker families in Ventura County," says Mary Maranville, SEEAG founder and CEO. "Parents are harvesting crops while their kids are learning at home. Families are struggling financially while taking extra precautions to stay healthy and safe."

SEEAG is also delivering "Farm Fresh Kids Wellness Bags" filled with educational materials, jump ropes, dental kits and fresh produce (celery donated by Duda Farm Fresh Foods and pixie tangerines donated by Friend's Ranches) to children of farm workers. So far, the nonprofit organization has delivered 1,175 the bags and plans to deliver another 400 by the end of June.
The bags are made possible by donations including $1,000 from Gold Coast Health Plan and $2,500 from Union Bank. We want to thank Union Bank, Gold Coast Health Plan and our other donors for helping SEEAG supply educational and health-related items to children during this time when many may feel disconnected from school," says Maranville, SEEAG.
