NOTE – <\/strong>The State of California recently shipped 1.4 million N-95 masks to agricultural commissioners in 35 counties for wildfire smoke protection for farmworkers. This is part of that effort. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a joint news release by the California Farmworker Foundation and the California Fresh Fruit Association<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California Fresh Fruit Association (CFFA) and California Farmworker Foundation (CFF) are pleased to announce they have distributed over 50,000 N-95 masks and single-use surgical masks to agricultural employees across the Central San Joaquin Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both organizations are appreciative of the quick action and partnership between the Fresno County Agricultural Commissioner, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s Office of Emergency Services (OES) to supply agricultural employees with much-needed protection while the air quality index levels are at unhealthy levels due to the wildfires in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFFA President Ian LeMay stated, \u201cThe wellness of Central Valley agricultural employees is of paramount importance, as they are an essential part in keeping the food supply chain moving every day. We are grateful for the partnership between Fresno County Department of Agriculture, CFDA and Governor Newsom\u2019s OES for their support to provide these employees with the resources they need to keep them healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFF Executive Director Hernan Hernandez added \u201cCFF\u2019s mission is to provide support to California\u2019s farmworkers, and having the ability to distribute these N-95 masks through our Ambassador program enables employees to stay safe while working outside. We are grateful to all of the partners that have contributed to this cause.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
