About RUNNING WITH LOVE INC.
RUNNING WITH LOVE INC. is a charitable nonprofit focused on giving children from seasonal farmworker families a real chance to succeed—in school and beyond. Many of these children face unique obstacles, such as frequent school changes, language barriers, and a lack of resources. We believe every child deserves stable support, opportunities for growth, and a future in which they can thrive. Our programs are designed to address academic, social, and emotional needs through a holistic, caring approach. We work collaboratively with families, schools, volunteers, and community partners across California.
