About the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry
The Episcopal Farmworker Ministry responds to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of farmworkers and actively supports opportunities for them to become self-directive. We seek to minister to farmworkers in three principal ways: through direct services; through the development and support of programs that work towards the empowerment of farmworkers; and by encouraging leadership development, advocacy, and education aimed toward a systemic change of agricultural policy.
