"Our valley is fortunate to have such a thriving agricultural industry, with wonderful orchards, vineyards, and gardens from which we all reap benefits. Much of the agricultural work is performed by faithful migrant workers who come to our valley year after year. Child and Migrant Services consistently provides necessary resources and services to these hard-working folks and their families. Thus, it is critical that we, as citizens and consumers, support CMS by making whatever contributions we can to ensure that our growers find and keep a dedicated work force."
- Donna Miller, Board Member
