Farmworkers Project
Guest User
On Friday, August 7, 2020, and Saturday, August 8, 2020, a group of students and community members of Sampson County completed their first-ever Farmworkers Project. On both of the days, over 15 students appear and served their time to the community. These community members physically went out into the farms, where the workers were located and give out drinks to the workers. Not only did these students serve their time to these farmworkers, but they also donated hydrating beverages and money to help the farmworkers stay hydrated! Although the sun was not out all day, these farmworkers still suffered in the intense summer heat! Thanks to these groups of students and the community’s donation, they successfully gave away hydrating beverages to over 200 farmworkers! They targeted six farms in Sampson County and surrounding areas. Not only did the students help these farmworkers, but they also shared the awareness of how much America needs to appreciate and show gratitude to these workers as they provide food to families across the nation. They plan to continue this project, obtain the support of the community, and to engage the youth in understanding the importance of serving our farmworkers and community! This event was overseen by Lieutenant Governor 11D, Submitter's Name: Yadira Paz-Martinez.
