In 2023, WFWA expanded their twice-weekly food distributions to about 75 families. A cooperative of organic farmers are bringing fresh produce to the office each week. They are also able to partner with St. John the Baptist Catholic Church to take non-perishable food to the farm labor camps.
Thank you for your continued support of this valuable ministry!
