La Promesa Familiar

La Promesa Familiar, based in Placerville, CA, is a community-focused collective dedicated to supporting mutual aid efforts for families in need. Their mission centers around providing food assistance, resources, education, and training to individuals facing challenges in providing for their families. Through collaborative efforts, mutual education, and networking, La Promesa Familiar aims to empower and uplift the community they serve.

La Promesa Familiar's bi-monthly food pantry serves over 80 Spanish-speaking, multi-generational family households, benefiting around 400-500 individuals directly. What sets them apart is the diverse range of staples provided, including masa, oil, tortillas, eggs, and more. The community also actively participates in harvesting produce for the pantry, fostering a sense of collective responsibility and sustainability.

In partnership with Ben Hanson and 24 Carrot Farm, La Promesa Familiar operates a 1/4 acre garden that supplies fresh produce to families during the summer and fall months. This equitable space encourages families and volunteers to engage in gardening activities, from weeding to harvesting. The organization is expanding the garden to include a covered plot, extending the winter growing season and enhancing food security for the community.
