OUR SERVICES
Complimentary Meals

Donate a Bike
Niagara farmworkers need bikes to shop, get groceries and access services.
Festivals
Life shouldn’t be all work and no play. That’s why we have a festival each year.
Internet Cafe & WiFi
Many farmworkers have smartphones, which they use to stay in contact with their spouses and children. We provide free WIFI services to enable them to use Skype to call home.
Medical Help Triage Clinic
Farmworkers asked for medical assistance after work hours in order to avoid an income loss and needed assistance of a Spanish language interpreter.
Spanish Church Service
Father Antonio celebrates Sunday services at the different parishes that host the Project and in the seasonal migrant farmworker residences in the farmlands.

Please donate your gently used or new clothing for migrant farmworkers.
All adult sizes welcome for male and female workers.
