Darlene Tenes, founder of CasaQ by Darlene is being recognized by AARP®, Brawny® Paper Towels, Modern Latina and Latina Coalition for the inspiring work she has done in her community to benefit the country's most essential workers
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Californer -- On another restless night in April as the country was forced to shelter-in-place, Darlene Tenes was scrolling through her social media feed when she spotted a post for a Farmworker Relief Drive the same day in Watsonville, CA. She quickly gathered up a few friends who cleared out their pantries and filled their cars with donations to head to this small agricultural community about one hour outside of Silicon Valley.
"I would hear about all of the essential workers being praised and helped but nobody ever mentioned the farmworkers who are working to feed every single person across America," said Tenes. "I just wanted to use my skills to help and give them the recognition they deserve."
California agricultural workers have been ravaged by COVID-19, enduring heat waves and wildfire smoke and have continued to work throughout the pandemic. With her event marketing and management background she jumped into action growing the monthly caravans to nearly 100 vehicles and 3-4 commercial moving trucks filled with household goods and nonperishable foods such as toilet paper, diapers, beans, rice and most importantly face masks and hand sanitizers.
