MIGRANT FARM WORKERS WELCOME BAG COLLECTION 2024
The 7th Annual collection and bagging of needed supplies to welcome arriving Migrant Farm Workers happens this year in March and April. At UUFH, we will have a donation location on site March 17 – through April 7 ONLY. We’re giving you a heads up now to increase your shopping window.
Locally thanks to your generosity and others in the community, we have gone from filling 100 bags in the first year to 600 bags last year. We are aiming to exceed that number in 2024.
See the current UUFH jUUstice Workers News for detailed information on when, where, and what to donate.
