For nearly 5 years, the Lake Apopka Farmworker
Memorial Quilt Project has been educating youth, college students, and adults –
anyone who will listen – about the tragic history of farmworkers in Central
Florida. When this forgotten population began passing away at
remarkably young ages, the Quilt Project began in order to preserve the story
of Lake Apopka farmworkers. And now, after challenging communities from Central
Florida to Central Michigan to see the other side of the “Green Revolution,”
we
are asking for your help.
In order to continue showing off and
teaching about the Quilt Project, we are humbly asking for the support of our
friends and allies.
We know that your dollars are precious, but we think
this is a pretty great cause. Here’s why:
- Creating greener practices for a greener planet means being conscious of where our food comes from and how it arrives on our dinner plate. Our goal is to educate anyone we can find about the role of farmworkers in that process.
- 100% of your donation will go directly to the Quilt Project. Our overhead fees are minimal because we have the support of incredible volunteers and a great organization – the Farmworker Association of Florida.
- We’re small. You and your dollar are all we have.
Donating might be asking a lot, but we’re flexible.
We need lots of help in a lot of ways:
- Donate online
- Donate in person at an upcoming event
- Donate by mail**
Thanks for considering our plea. You’ll be hearing
from us again very soon.
