CHC’s Behavioral Health Department distributed 100 lunch bags directly to agricultural workers working in the fields. The lunch bags contained hand sanitizer, sunglasses, masks, & fresh produce. To wrap up the week, the BH dept also served 200 families in Santa Maria of public housing, farmworker, & low-income backgrounds by providing access to nutritious food & 200 back-to-school bags for youth. Access to healthy foods, personal protection against viruses, & health education are important components of our children’s health & wellbeing. It is incredible to see all the wonderful services & resources we have collectively provided this past week across our clinic network. The Behavioral Health team is humbled to serve our community alongside such dedicated & caring individuals. Thank you for living & breathing our mission!
