THANK YOU! Over 300 new toys and gifts were donated at our Dec. 9th

Holiday Party for the Migrant Workers Comfort Center, run by the

Galilee Center in Mecca. And, two huge bins of towels, blankets,

toiletries and other items were donated for farmworkers and their families

that same day. It was an overwhelming show of support for the Mecca

Workers Center. Surprise visit was from Congressman Ruiz and his

family. Congressman Ruiz spoke about working in the fields as a youth,

and thanked DOD for its continuing support for farmworkers and their

children and families.
