Farmworker Children Gifts

Every year, FTT & the MSFW Coalition gather donations of gifts for between 50 and 175 Children of Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers. We do the distribution in the Ogden area, because that is the area where we find the highest number of Farmworkers in need who don't get help from any other source.

Items that we need include:

•     Hats

•     Gloves

•     Scarves

•     Warm New Clothes for All Ages 

•     Toys for All Ages

•     Coloring Books

•     Crayons

•     Batteries (usually sizes AA, AAA, C & D)

•     Stuffed  Animals

•     Baby Items

•     Electronics

•     New Blankets for All Ages

We also need volunteers to help with sorting, scheduling, and on distribution day. Any Help You Can Give Us Will Be Much Appreciated!!

H.E.A.T. Donations

Futures Through Training provides help to households who need warmth during the winter or need cooling during the summer. Unfortunately, there are some households that are not eligible for the program and have no financial capability to change the situation due to several extreme circumstances. That is how your donations can help. We would determine if household is eligible for the program, if over income, we can assist the household with donations; and prevent a household from spending cold nights in the winter.

If you want to help: Please, send checks or money orders to:

Utah Farmworker Program Donations

At the Utah Farmworker Program, sometimes we are limited by the amount of assistance that we can provide. In many cases, the need of our clients exceeds our limits for the case. Other times, emergencies happen and we can't get the clients qualified quickly enough to address the emergency. When these things happen, we are able to use private donations to take care of our people.

Donations do not need to be financial to be useful. Some things that we can always use are:

Work Items  

• Large brimmed hats

• Sizes: children's to adult

• Scarves/Bandannas

• Work gloves, Ranging in size from Children's small to Adult XL

• Thick soled work boots, Ranging in size from Women's Size 6 to Men's size 12
