National Farm Worker Ministry encourages our supporters to participate in a tradition of the farm worker movement — hosting a sacrificial meal honoring the hands that harvest our food.
The basic idea is simple:
gather friends, family and faith communities
pray and reflect on farm workers’ lives. giving thanks for their labor and seeking justice with them.
eat a humble meal together, usually soup and bread.
Offer the money that you might have spent on a dinner out to support the farm worker struggle.
In this case, we hope that your collection will be donated to NFWM to support our ongoing work.
If scheduling a meal is not feasible this year, use the Harvest of Justice Prayers to honor farm workers in your regular worship or at other community gatherings. (Order Online)
We think you’ll be glad you’ve taken the opportunity to unite your lives with the lives of the men, women and children whose labor feeds us every day.
