SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pray.com, the world's leading app for mental & spiritual health, has launched an effort to raise funds and awareness for small family farmers, one of the most impacted communities by California's droughts. At the core of this program, Pray.com is launching a fundraising drive to support CAFF's California Family Farmers Emergency Fund. Pray.com will match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 for all donations made by October 31, 2021. 

Financial donations of any size can be made at this link - https://www.pledge.to/pray4rain, or by texting RAIN to 707070. All funds will go to family farms in need. 

Given the unprecedented western heat waves and droughts, small farms are bearing the brunt of this crisis. Overall, small family farmers and farmworkers are suffering physically, mentally, spiritually, and economically through one of its hottest and driest years in more than a century.

In addition to the fundraising drive, the company is also launching the Pray for Rain podcast series and PSA, premiering today on the Pray.com app. It is available in English and Spanish, and free for all, and can be found at: https://www.pray.com/series/pray-for-rain/.

"The impact of Covid, wildfires and devastating heat waves and droughts have placed a great strain on farms and farmworkers across the state of California and beyond," said Paul Towers, executive director, CAFF. "In August, we launched the emergency fund to help support those hit the hardest. We are thrilled to have the support of Pray.com to bring needed funds and awareness to their plight."
