Help improve the lives of farm workers in the West.
You can improve the lives of farm workers in the West!
The
Farm Worker Fund was established
to help Rural Community Assistance Corporation continue and expand its
work to improve the quality of life for farm workers. The Fund is increasing
housing, health, and educational opportunities for farm workers living
in the rural West. Farm Worker Fund proceeds are used to build much-needed
farm worker housing, provide technical assistance to nonprofit housing
organizations, provide scholarships to farm workers to attend leadership
and capacity building workshops and conferences, and provide incentive
funds for health providers to specifically target and serve the health
needs of farm workers. Through low-interest loans, grants, technical
assistance and educational support (scholarships), RCAC provides financial
support to organizations and individuals working to improve their communities.
Since our inception in 1978, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) has advocated for better living conditions for farm workers in the West.
We
provide technical assistance, training and financing to organizations
dedicated to building safe, decent housing for farm workers and their
families. We work hand in hand with a vast network of organizations
that display a ceaseless commitment and determination to better the
lives of farm workers and their families. The recent conclusion of The
California Endowment- funded Agricultural
Worker Health and Housing Program has expanded this network significantly.
RCAC's
Agricultural Worker Programs have demonstrated tangible results, but
much is left to be done. With your contribution, RCAC's Farm Worker
Fund will continue to provide resources and support to organizations
and communities working to improve the quality of life for farm workers.
We ask your help. Please give to the Farm Worker Fund today.
Thank you!
