The city of Pharr, along with federal, state, and nonprofit partners, hosted a vaccination clinic for an underserved but essential community on Sunday.
Farm workers have always played a critical role in our nation’s food supply—even more so during the pandemic. Most have little access to healthcare and other vital needs.
"During the pandemic, many of them have become sick, have had to rely on home remedies,” said LUPE organizer Elizabeth Rodriguez.
