Here’s an update on the Western Farm Workers Association from Merry G:
Hello Everyone, and Best Wishes in the New Year.
We had a very busy and successful holiday season this year. We filled toy and clothing gift requests for more than 230 children. We held a dinner party for the families, with entertainment by a folkloric dance troupe, and some excellent piano music. In the children's room, we had pizza, made ornaments, and did lots of craft projects. The parents were then able to pick up their gifts during the dinner.
On Dec 22nd, we had a very good turnout of volunteers for the food distribution. Westside donated 50 pounds of beans and masa. Each family received seven bags of food, and we were able to deliver them to 87 households.
We are now serving the membership with a Clothing Closet on every other Saturday. A small fee of ten cents per item is waived if members are unable to donate. We are looking forward to our next newspaper very soon, where you can find out more information.
Thank you all who helped out in 2023. Please join us again this year.
