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!!

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:iStock_000004242992Small
