We use intergenerational cultural arts (like Ballet Folklórico and Mariachi) to celebrate identity, build deep trust, and connect with families in their own language.
Once trust is established, we meet people where they are to provide essential frontline services—ranging from food distribution, to educational support for youth, and basic needs to a free, bilingual mental health clinic.
We don’t just treat the symptoms; we fight for systemic change. Through community-driven research at our Colibrí Center (in partnership with Stanford and University of San Francisco), we use our own data to advocate for human rights, dignified farmworker housing, and equitable policies.
Essential services including our weekly food pantry, crisis support, case management, and the Farmworker Equity Express, a green tech double decker mobile bus that delivers resources directly to farmworkers in the fields.
The only free, bilingual mental health clinic on the coast, providing culturally rooted therapy, trauma-informed care, and wellness groups.
Building bridges to higher education through tutoring programs, scolarships, youth advocacy, and leadership development.
A crowd of farmworkers, city officials, residents, and members of Half Moon Bay’s immigrant community recently celebrated the completion of a vibrant mural in the city’s downtown.
The Half Moon Bay City Council voted Tuesday to approve a ground lease with the developer of an affordable housing facility for older farmworkers, marking a major step in moving the years-long project forward.
Belinda Hernandez-Arriaga thought that construction of the senior farmworker complex in downtown Half Moon Bay would be well under way by now.
