| For the end of 2022, FHDC will be highlighting the doors that have opened for farmworkers and youth in our communities. Tune into stories and dreams from Margarita, Ana, Rey, Josefina, Isabela, Edgar, and others about their journeys of self and collective discovery that helped them learn, build, and grow at FHDC.
Our goal by the end of 2022 is to raise $50,000 to support our housing services programming to help farmworker families thrive beyond our housing – in their pursuit of education, health, wellness, and wealth. |

Margarita Bautista This video in our Abriendo Puertas series features a long-time FHDC resident and community leader, Margarita Bautista, who has worked tirelessly to help hundreds of youth in Salem at Colonia Libertad. She oversees the escuelita, after-school activities, and enrichment activities for youth and adults; and has raised her kids and called FHDC home for over 17 years. She supports the Mano a Mano food pantry and other supportive activities so that families like hers can also thrive. I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as we appreciate having her support. |
