Culturally, linguistically, and religiously diverse. High poverty due to high unemployment, seasonal employment, and low wages. That's the community context for Fresno Metro Ministry, founded in 1970, and the Local Health Care Coalition, founded in 1993. Located in California's Central Valley, Fresno County is home to 850,000 residents, over half living in the City of Fresno.
