FWCC



The Farmworker Coordinating Council

Our Mission: The Mission of the Farmworker Coordinating Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. is to promote self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life of migrant and seasonal farm workers through education, advocacy, and access to services. The FWCC is a non-profit corporation, classified under section 501C(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and chartered by the state of Florida as a non-profit corporation since 1978. The FWCC was created for the purpose of assisting farm workers in need of social and human services, who for reasons of language, lack of transportation, legal status, or economic conditions are unable to participate in programs or services for which they are eligible.
