Who says farmworker kids have to live in substandard conditions and suffer food scarcity?
Your donation is a vote condemning these conditions.

It's simple. Every dollar donated to this campaign goes to housing and ensures food security for farmworker kids, youth and families.
- Why? Because they earn next to nothing for what they do for us.
- Why? Because not enough people pay attention.
- Why? Because we live mostly in urban areas now. We don't have time to think about it.
- Why? Because food is like electricity. We don't miss it until we can't find it/turn it on/purchase what we want.
- Why? Because in our society, the belief is that food comes from farmers, not farm workers. While the farmer is the grower, farm workers are the labor that supplies our food in the U.S.
Who am I donating to?
Directly to the Fuller Center for Housing in a rural eastern North Carolina county where we are finding unaccompanied youth, children and families working in cucumber, pepper and tomato harvests, among other crops. North Carolina agriculture earns billions yet farmworkers barely earn enough to survive, are charged weekly rent for substandard housing, and must pay someone to take them to a grocery store. After expenses, they earn much less than minimum wage.
Help us. Pay More for Your Food.

Who are you?
We are the NC FIELD Coalition. A group of professionals who work with kids and youth daily in the fields of North Carolina. We have joined with the Fuller Center for Housing and Women Without Borders to raise money to renovate two houses the Fuller Center for Housing recently donated to two farmworker families who take in unaccompanied youth along the east coast migrant stream.
We need you to care enough to pay more for your food.
If every person who sees this page donates, there would be enough resources to provide stability to the more than 300 children living in temporary, substandard housing.
No, we can't save the world. But we can save the children who live within minutes of our homes, businesses and schools.
And more importantly, we can prove to the world that we don't want children and youth housing to look like this in the U.S.
