Nancy’s Project is a volunteer-run non-profit organization that has been delivering food and other necessities to the farm worker community in Monterey County since 1971. Donated clothing, household
items, and groceries are delivered 5 days a week to three locations in Salinas and two locations in Greenfield.
In January they served 4,379 people of whom 50% were children. Every year Nancy’s Project gives away
1,200 pairs of children’s school shoes, 500 stuffed backpacks, Halloween candy, Easter baskets, and at
Christmas wrapped gifts and Safeway gift cards. The organization currently depends almost exclusively on volunteers, including from at least three churches, who drive the delivery van to grocery stores and the distribution locations.
The total yearly budget has grown from about $26,000 to nearly $300,000 in the last few years through expanded programs and increased fundraising. When there is little work in the fields, the needs facing farm worker families increase and these important everyday basic goods are a real lifesaver.
