The Big Idea 2026:
Safe Fields for Farmworker Families — Campos Seguros

Our project brings culturally-specific services to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking to farmworker communities in Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley. At outreach events at farms and community gatherings we provide education, legal advocacy, financial aid, and trauma-informed support.

Our bilingual advocates have built trust through repeated presence in the fields and at local gathering spots. They answer crisis calls, respond in person to hospitals and law enforcement, and connect survivors to our confidential shelter program, housing assistance, legal aid, and holistic case management support. With federal funding ending in 2025, Santa Cruz Gives will help sustain this vital safety and healing program for farmworker families.

Campos Seguros makes me feel welcome, the information is important, and the way the staff talks to us is very kind. It’s hard to trust these days, and they give us the confidence to talk to them. Thank you for the information.
