First A Dream, Now A Reality. The Ground Breaking Ceremony was held in the picnic shelter of a mobile home park owned and operated by Sun Ag for its migrant farmworkers. The new units will be built adjacent to the mobile home park, on land purchased from Sun Ag. Workers will be able to live close to work. Sun Ag?s cooperation has been essential to the project?s success. In the background is the FCEP van, which is used to deliver food, clothing and other items to those in need.
