~ 2022 ~

Current Food Distribution will be held on July 29, 2022, Parlier CA at the Park.

Our next free food distribution will be held on May 27, 2022, from 10 am to 2 pm. During the drive-through pick-up we will be collecting everyone's name and ask that you answer some questions regarding your household so we may better serve you in the future. We are currently partnering with Binational of Central California to collect your information because in the near future we will be able to offer some assistance for PG&E, Rent, Covid testing & vaccines, and food. We will be your local resource connection. Binational provides critical information via food drives, backpack giveaways, resource fairs, festivals, and sporting events. Connect the Valley Inc through BOCC is working to provide the same.

Currently underway is tax season and we are providing income tax processing for the underserved low-income families and individuals in and around the rural Parlier area. Come in and fill out an intake form. Bring all your tax documents with you for processing. Leave your items with us and we will review process and contact you with any questions we may have. Once complete we will transmit electronically for you all for free.

2020

CTVI had another successful Christmas gift giving day on December 19th with donations provided by the Fresno/Madera Marines Toys for Tots. We were able to provide toys to the children of almost 100 families. This is the second year that CTVI has been able to distribute toys to families in Parlier. We are carrying on the tradition of YCA where they provided toys to Parlier children for close to 20 years. 

CTVI's mission is to inspire, educate, and support the underserved residents of the small rural farming communities of Fresno County. 

During 2019-2020 we were awarded a grant from the Fresno County Department of Social Services to provide services to Parlier residents in informing and assisting them regarding the 2020 Census. Even though the Covd-19 Pandemic put a damper on our planned events for the census, it did not prevent us from assisting residents in filling out the census questions via the Internet.

We look forward to 2021 being another successful year of serving the rural farming communities of Fresno County.

BOCC’s mission is to serve low-income, immigrant  (documented/undocumented), farmworker communities by connecting them to  much needed resources which includes, but is not limited to,  immigration, healthcare, and educational resources. Binational provides critical information via its food drives, backpack giveaways, resource  fairs, festivals, and sporting events. This year we have already served  more than thirteen-thousand people. We are based in Fresno, California,  and we can impact Madera, Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Tulare, Kings, and Kern counties.

We accept donations that would allow us to purchase additional  personal protective equipment (PPE) and provide COVID information to  farmworkers, this contribution will allow us to impact approximately  one-thousand people. Please take a moment to review the photos provided. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate  to ask. You may contact me at (559) 999-1456 or by email at  binationalofcentralca@gmail.com.
