Throughout
the year, the agency hosts a series of special events that benefit farmworker
families and their children. Those events are:
• Back to School Bash: In partnership with the
Community Back to School Bash, the agency distributes backpacks and
school supplies to farmworker children. On average, the agency provides
approximately 600 backpacks every August, before the new school year
begins. When funding allows, the agency also distributes shoe vouchers
in the amount of $10.00 per voucher per child.
• Thanksgiving Food Distribution: With the help
of volunteers and generous donors, the agency collects hundreds of pounds
of food every November to distribute among farmworker families.
• Toy Distribution - Every Christmas: the agency
collects new toys from private individuals, companies and community
agencies for farmworker children whose parents cannot afford to buy
a Christmas present. When funding allows, the agency also distributes
food vouchers that can be redeemed at local supermarkets.
