Operation Homefront Sacramento teams up with Patriotwatch.com to lend a helping hand to the farmers and ranchers of California's heartland.

We know times are tough. 40,000 farmworkers are out of work. In the Central Valley, 150 year old family farms are being lost. Up to 25% of America's food supply has been shut down. That is now causing your family's food to be imported from countries that do not share our nation's food quality standards.

What can you do to help? Join a team of amazing volunteers and professionals working to deliver aid to California's farmers. They stand in long food bank lines for hours to feed their families. The food is running out.

You can start in your own neighborhood, at your church, civic organization or local schools. Food and clothing drives will help fill IMMEDIATE needs. We have boots on the ground throughout the Central Valley that will work with you.

Corporate Sponsors are more than welcome to lend a hand and support us at the local or statewide level. We need transportation for collected supplies. Empty warehouse space is needed.

• There is a role for everyone in this effort: be you a blue collar working stiff like most of us, or a valued professional resource willing to lend your skills to a big job ahead. We have a small Volunteer Center in Midtown Sacramento with lots of tools to work with. We also have a small storage facility that is available until a larger space can be acquired.
