Our much anticipated Adopt a Family Program is back!
How it works: Farmworker families who are struggling this holiday season will submit a wishlist, we will pair the wishlist with a local sponsor who will then purchase gifts for the family and deliver them to Friends of Fieldworkers.
What is the cost?: Sponsors agree to spend a minimum of $50 per person (therefore a family of 5 is minimum $250). Instead of a max spending limit (like previous years) we ask each sponsor to purchase three gifts per child, one from each category: a WANT, a NEED and a READ. Kids will have already provided a list for each category.
Can I buy more than three gifts? To ensure that all families receive a fair amount, we ask that each child have three items to unwrap. Many are collecting their gifts in group environments and will be able to see if some families receive a lot more than others.
How are these families selected?: We are working with local school districts that will select families based on need. All families participating have one or both parents who work in the fields.
