Hijas Del Campo

What Hijas Del Campo does

Hijas del Campo (HDC), translating to "Daughters of the Field," is a Contra Costa County, California-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in Fall 2020 by four East County mothers who are themselves daughters of Mexican immigrant farmworkers. The organization provides direct food, healthcare, education, housing, and specialized support services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families in the region, addressing documented disparities such as 40% of farmworker households being below the poverty line, 70% lacking health insurance, and a 10% high school graduation rate for children of migrant farmworkers.

The organization's service portfolio comprises five core programs: a Food Program distributing weekly despensas (food bags) to over 500 farmworker families; Education Support including school supplies, Lenovo laptops, and college counseling; Healthcare Services providing referrals to clinics such as La Clinica Oakley and Contra Costa Health Services; Housing Assistance for rent and utility bills; and Special Programs covering immigration legal support and worker rights advocacy. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-led through community outreach, pop-up clinics, school-based Lunch & Learn presentations, and direct distribution channels.

The revenue model is donation-based, drawing from individual contributions (one-time, weekly, monthly), corporate sponsorships and in-kind donations (e.g., Lenovo laptops, Los Tigres del Norte concert proceeds), grants (Community Health Fund, Public Health Institute), and workplace giving via the Benevity platform. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Operations are supported by approximately 5-6 paid staff plus volunteers, following the 2023 hiring of the first Executive Director and key program roles, and the November 2023 opening of a permanent headquarters in Brentwood.
