Arroz, frijoles, plátanos, papas, limón verde. 

Rice, beans, plantains, potatoes, limes.

These are just a few of the essential foods that are sustaining our immigrant neighbors during this difficult time.

The pandemic has disproportionately impacted immigrant families, many of whom were among the first to lose their jobs and are ineligible for state and federal relief. 

Canasta Solidaria ("solidarity basket") provides culturally appropriate groceries at no cost to these families. Food is about more than nutrition; it is also about comfort and culture and a sense of control. By providing our neighbors with the food they know and love, we are supporting their dignity too.

This project is also a way to center immigrant leadership and decision-making and we are very grateful for the core group of immigrant workers who are leading it.

Your donations will help us cover the cost of food, space, vehicle rental and other expenses. Thank you for your generosity!
