Triangle Friends of Farmworkers

Who We Are

We are an all volunteer organization of advocates. With our ally, the National Farm Worker Ministry (based in Raleigh), we support the farmworker organization FLOC -- the Farm Labor Organizing Committee.  FLOC has ~ 2,500 farmworker members;  has had a contract with the NC Growers' Association since 2004.  

What We Do

# Find resources for and make connections with farmworkers # Support farmworker union organizing for better work conditions # Increase awareness of human costs of food production # Engage people of all ages with passion and commitment # Collaborate with existing organizations to promote justice Example of specific project: we recruit and coordinate volunteers who drive specific assigned farmworkers to and from the regional meetings of their organization -- the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC). These farmworkers have NO other transportation option from their far-flung migrant labor camps.
