To friends and supporters of farm workers,
Farm workers need us.
Farm workers are the heart of our food system, working tirelessly to ensure our tables are filled. Never missing a day so that our grocery store shelves stay full. And now, many work in fear of deportation, leaving their families in survival and crisis mode. For these workers, their absence from the fields doesn’t just mean lost wages—it means empty plates for their children and a struggle to survive.
Many of these workers live paycheck to paycheck. Taking even one day off means not being able to afford basic groceries, rent, or diapers for their children. Being the lowest-paid labor force in the country, they hardly have any savings to fall back on.
This is an urgent matter and we cannot sit back as these families suffer in silence after all they have done for our families.
We are taking precautions to keep farm workers who will attend our distributions safe. We encourage them to send someone with protected status to pick up their groceries. We are also providing know-your-rights material at every distribution.
We cannot turn our backs on the people who provide the food we eat every day. In this moment, we have the opportunity to stand beside them, offering hope, solidarity, and nourishment.
This fundraiser is about more than food. It’s about showing farm workers and their families that they are seen, valued, and loved. It’s about ensuring no child goes to bed hungry, and no family feels abandoned in their hour of need.
Your support will help us:
- Provide essential groceries to farm workers and their families.
- Provide resources and education to lighten their load and lift their spirits.
- Send a powerful message of solidarity and gratitude: “We care for you, as you care for us.”
The average cost of a week of basic groceries for a small family is $28. (we have access to wholesale prices, making the most of your donations)
Your donation can help cover that.
$28 = 1 family with beans, rice, and produce PER WEEK
$56 = 2 families with beans, rice, and produce PER WEEK
Every dollar makes a huge difference, a reminder that we’re all in this together. We may be a 501c3 nonprofit status organization, but our operations are grassroots inspired, meaning we let the community lead, meaning most of our leaders are current farm workers themselves.
By feeding those who feed us, we can help families stay strong and offer them a sense of hope and dignity during these difficult times.
Please join us in standing in solidarity with farm workers.
Together, we can make sure no family is left behind.
