Industry Support is Appreciated
Last week, a devastating wildfire ravaged the small community of Niland, California, in Imperial County. Niland, a tiny desert town is home to many agricultural employees who work citrus groves in the area. The small community which already faces many challenges is now left with the aftermath of the wildfire, making life even more challenging for them.
We have learned that 40 homes have been destroyed, countless damaged, and close to 200 people have been displaced or are now homeless. Additionally, one person has lost their life in the fire.
Unified, CRB and CCM, are asking the industry for any support they can offer to the Niland community, that is currently in desperate need.
