To friends and supporters,
This is the official FOOD AND TOY DRIVE FOR FARM WORKERS.
We are so excited to announce that we will be holding our annual Holiday Drive!
Now since there is still a great need for food, this year we will be collecting for a FOOD AND TOY Drive for Farmworkers!
As farm workers navigate the difficult terrain of post-pandemic life (many never got pandemic assistance), inflation, low wages, and not having work during the winter, they bear the weight of these burdens in silence.
We believe that no one should go to bed hungry, especially those who play such a critical role in our food supply chain. We also believe every child deserves a joyful Christmas, and together we want to bring light during these cold winter days to the families that help feed us all. Right now farm workers are choosing to pay bills instead of food and need our support. Many farm workers don't work these winter months so toys for Christmas is not even part of their picture, but together we can change that!
🍎 Campaign Goals:
- Provide essential food and toys to farm workers and their families.
- Raise funds to alleviate their stress from food insecurity and ensure their basic nutritional needs are met, while also providing holiday cheer during Christmas by providing toys to their littles.
-
Offer a glimpse of hope and solidarity to those who need it most. Be the community warmth and the magic of Christmas for farm workers in California.
💪 How You Can Make a Difference:
- Donate: Every dollar counts and will go directly to providing food and toys to farm workers during the holidays.
- Spread the Word: Share our campaign on social media, in your communities, and among your friends and family.
- Volunteer: Join our team and contribute your time and skills to help us make a bigger impact. New volunteer opportunities to come for December ( as our current distributions have waitlists for volunteers).
- Lead the Way: Host your own food and toy drive within your community and donate it to our efforts, together we can do more!
- Advocate: Be an advocate for fair wages, better working conditions, and improved immigration policies for farm workers. Your voice can help bring about lasting change.
We envision a community where no farm worker has to face food insecurity or harsh winter conditions alone. We also envision a community where we can be the holiday cheer for those that help us every day. Together, we can be the change these dedicated individuals deserve.
Your support is a lifeline to those who feed us, and together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate future.
Thank you for being a part of this important and collective journey.
