More than a hundred volunteers cooked and hand rolled thousands of tamales as a special holiday treat for farmworkers in Half Moon Bay.
"My background is in farmworking -- picking strawberries in the Salinas Valley. And so, I can relate to the hard labor," volunteer Betty Martinez told KPIX.
"I've had Parkinson's for about 10 years. And although my mobility is getting more and more limited, I still try," she said. "Tamale making always turns out to be a party. People getting together, the conversations, the music. Tamale making is a big party," Salazar-Mancias said.
