La Familia, Tu Familia
The La Familia food distribution extravaganza in South Hayward, California distributed boxes of food and information about COVID-19 vaccines and testing to 500 people in a single day. At this event, COVID-19 vaccinations were given to 94 community residents, most of whom were Latinx day laborers receiving their first doses. La Familia attributes its success to establishing trust with community residents by meeting their basic human needs, and providing accurate information about COVID-19 and the vaccines.
