Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Farm Worker Family Health Program is an inter-professional, immersive learning collaboration that addresses urgent primary health care needs of migrant farmworkers and their families while providing students invaluable educational training and service-learning experience.
Since its inception 32 years ago, the FWFHP has served more than 17,000 workers and their children. Each year vitally needed clinical services are provided to the 900+ individuals who would likely go without health care. In an intensive, low resource outreach setting that also serves as part of the clinical training programs of the participating universities, students and faculty in the health professions deliver preventative and episodic health care in a two-week period each summer. The Farm Worker Family Health Program brings critical health services directly to farmworkers and their families during the summer months when the migrant population is at its peak in Georgia.
Farm workers are among the most poverty-stricken people in this country, yet they are responsible for the fruits and vegetables we serve on our tables. We provide hygiene kits, gift cards, boots, gently used clothing, and other items for workers and their families. The FWFHP is able to provide critical health care to the children and adults of this community and provide them with resources they would have access to otherwise. Your support can help raise funds to purchase these supplies. A gift of any amount will make a difference!
Your gift of $10 can help provide a cooling neck towel for a farmworker working on the field.
Your gift of $25 can help provide a Walmart gift card for a farmworker. This gift card would give the farmworker the agency and independence to purchase clothing and personal items individualized to their needs. Often purchases include razors, soap, shampoo, deodorant, flip-flops, and fungus powder.
Your gift of $50 can help provide an environmental kit for a farmworker. This kit includes a reusable water bottle, a cooling neck towel, and a hat to block sunlight from the farmworker’s eyes.
Your gift of $200 can help set-up hand sanitizer stations for the farmworkers to protect against infectiousness diseases.
Your gift of $500 can help provide toys and educational activities for 300 children of farm workers.
Your gift of $1,000 can provide over-the-counter medications such as anti-inflammatories, creams for fungus, and pesticide rashes for farmworkers and their families.
