Community service and
the commitment to serve others is a corner stone to a just society. The Farmworker
Association of Florida was honored to host young members of the Church of the
Brethren who are about to embark on a year of service. Whether it is
working with children, the hungry, or the homeless, these young people clearly
demonstrate a meaningful path in life.
On February 1, 2012, the
Church of the Brethren joined the Farmworker Association of Florida by being
immersed in the community. Visiting the former farmlands of Lake Apopka
on a toxic tour and meeting with the creator of the Lake Apopka Farmworker
Memorial Quilts, Linda Lee, the group was able to get a deeper understanding of
what it means to be a farmworker and live in a rural community.
