Here’s a note from Merry Goldthorpe, Westside’s point person at the Western Farm Workers Association:
Dear Westsiders,
I want to thank everyone who helped in our Day of Action on May 2nd. It was an amazing effort. I wish all of you generous people could see the smiles on the faces of the farm workers receiving the food. Muchas gracias!!
Every event at WFWA is carefully planned to ensure maximum fairness, dignity, and safety for all. Each family received two bags of food, with four cloth face masks, some children's books, and a WinCo grocery gift card. Local farmers donated vegetables, Grocery Outlet donated the paper bags, and a few people donated their stimulus checks to add to the fresh vegetables in each bag. A team of drivers delivered food to people's homes.
Thank you to our congregation and the Conference.
