Here’s news about the Western Farm Workers Association, from Merry Goldthorpe:
Hello Westsiders,
Thank you to all who helped with our holiday events. I hope everyone looked at our photos and thank you card. Sunday, January 17th, was our Martin Luther King Day distribution, held at Reedville Presbyterian church. Most of our members did not have the Monday off.
After the seasonal Christmas tree and wreath making work is over, winter season brings its' own challenges. Many of our members work in landscaping plant nurseries and floral export companies, outdoors, all year round. The members who participate with us sort food and clothing, answer phones, clean the office and grounds, and transport items for distribution. The YWCA donated the food for our generous holiday food boxes that went to about 120 families. Friday and Saturday the 22nd and 23rd will be a hygiene supply and January food distribution, with "contact-free" delivery.
If you would like to help with any of our distributions or advocacy, please call our office or contact me. I will gladly pick up donations from the Lighthouse, or from your house!
Cheers!
Merry Goldthorpe
