At FIELD, our CORE PURPOSE is to empower the underserved to become self sufficient. We are committed to strengthening our communities through promoting economic and social prosperity to help Farmworkers, Immigrants, Latinx, poor non-Hispanic Whites and African-Americans in California’s rural communities.
