Written by Bruce Goldstein Thursday, 21 January 2010 23:04
Florida experienced freezes that harmed many crops, causing much unemployment for that state's farmworkers.
Two organizations that serve farmworkers in Florida and that could use your help through tax-deductible donations are listed below. Each group has several offices around the state and have long track records of service. Both organizations serve Haitian-American farmworkers, many of whom have family members in Haiti, which has been devastated by an earthquake.
Farmworker Association of Florida, 1264 Apopka Blvd., Apopka, FL 32703. Donations may be made online at http://www.floridafarmworkers.org/ The Director of the organization is Tirso Moreno.
Coalition of Florida Farmworker Organizations, 778 West Palm Drive, Florida City, Florida FL 32703. More information about COFFO is at www.coffo.org. The Executive Director is Arturo Lopez.
