Then wildfires forced them to evacuate their homes if not destroying them completely. This has all happened while living with uncertainty and fear as governmental policies and practices target migrant workers making it difficult for them to raise their voices, while ensuring cheap agricultural labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is definitely a lot of fear in the migrant community,\u201d said Pastor Keren Rodriguez of Aloha United Methodist Church west of Portland. \u201cThere\u2019s this kind of unspoken fear that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is going to chase them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has become the work of Hispanic ministries in the Greater Northwest Area of The United Methodist Church to support their neighbors and friends in real and tangible ways through this seemingly unending crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur people are here to integrate and work very hard,\u201d said Rev. Cruz Edwin Santos, director of Hispanic\/Latinx Ministries in the Pacific Northwest Conference. \u201cOur Hispanic\/Latinx community is in survival mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After wildfires forced evacuations around Salem, Oregon, Rodriguez worked with Las Naciones Church in Salem, and Oregon-Idaho Conference Disaster Response Coordinator Dan Moseler, to get UMCOR-provided hygiene kits in the hands of Pastor Zaida Huereca from Las Naciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was more than that. Farm workers still had to work in the fields even as thick, heavy smoke filled the valley and forced almost everyone inside. Rodriguez and Huereca worked with Moseler and partnered with community organizations like Adelante Mujeres and Unete to get n95 masks in the hands of farm workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur communities are really struggling,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have the luxury of being on Zoom. They have to work out in the smoke and the rain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21462\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/news\/our-hispanic-latinx-community-is-in-survival-mode\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.75&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;IN2017&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1602330739&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.745&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.03030303030303&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?fit=696%2C522&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1.jpg?resize=469%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21462\" width=\"469\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C522&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C801&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1440&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/aloha-umc-wildfire-response-1-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><figcaption>Members of Aloha UMC in the Oregon-Idaho Conference collected hygiene kits and other items for Las Naciones UMC in Salem to distribute to migrant workers displaced from their homes during wildfires.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodriguez is proud of the way Aloha UMC partnered with nearby churches like Hillsboro UMC and Portland Westside United Methodist Church to get a truck load of hygiene kits and other necessary supplies dropped off with Las Naciones recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering assistance isn\u2019t always easy, though, Santos said, when migrant families fear that by putting their name on a piece of paper, they automatically become a target of ICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always believe disasters reveal a lot of things for us \u2013 like racism,\u201d Santos said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why it has been crucial to send Hispanic church leaders out into the migrant communities to help build that trust and let people know the church is here to help, not harm them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artemio Zapoteco, a member of the Okanogan UMC in northcentral Washington, helped connect farm workers (like himself) with UMCOR school supply, hygiene and cleaning kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was very happy to see that UMCOR responded to the needs of our community,\u201d Zapoteco said. \u201cI am very grateful for what the United Methodist Church is doing. Many Hispanics do not know much about The United Methodist Church. By providing this help for the Hispanic community it allows us church leaders and members to be more active and present in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Santos said, when fires swept through Brewster, a local Hispanic family lost access to their pharmacy and needed medications for their diabetes. Zapoteco and others were able to help the family get access to medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve also connected Hispanic pastors with pastors in bigger churches,\u201d Santos said. \u201cThey\u2019ve not only created help, but stronger relationships with the churches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 1, members of Okanogan UMC will be distributing more hygiene kits and gift cards at the church from 12 to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While migrant families have a unique set of challenges, Hispanic families living in large urban centers have also been disproportionately impacted by the economic disparities created through COVID-19. When businesses shut down, immigrant families couldn\u2019t afford to pay their rent, put gas in their vehicles or get food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to be culturally aware of the differences when we\u2019re offering help,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the Hispanic and Latinx migrant communities working the fields and farms of the Willamette Valley to the southern border of Oregon and north through the landscape of central Washington, there has never been a safety net for them or their families.
