Darlene Tenes is fundraising
Sponsor a Farmworker
Hola, I am Darlene Tenes, founder of the Farmworker Caravan and I am asking you to donate $150 to sponsor one agricultural worker to attend our Conference and Dia de Alegria Retreat May 18-20, 2024 at Saint Francis Retreat Center in San Juan Bautista, CA.
On Saturday the education is geared to the needs of agricultural workers including immigration laws, labor rights, sexual abuse and domestic violence classes.
On Sunday, farmworker families and conference attendees are invited to attend Dia de Alegria, a one-day retreat where invited guests will be able to relax, reflect and rejuvenate their spirits through arts, music, health and fitness activities. There will also be a Mass and Brunch with Mariachi Azteca and BBQ Pachanga with Los Amigos salsa and cumbia band.
On Monday the conference will convene CBOs, service providers, government organizations, community leaders and agricultural workers to share resources, gain knowledge and imagine innovative ways to uplift the agricultural community and make a significant impact on farmworkers and their families’ lives.
The Farmworker Caravan and The Franciscans will cover 50% of the cost of the conference and retreat for farmworkers. We need you to sponsor:
200 Farmworker @$150 = $30,000
Funds will be used towards meals, education, accommodations, transportation stipend, supplies, translators, entertainment, gift bags and more. More Info
When donating please note that the San Jose Parks Foundation, a 501c3 community-based nonprofit organization acts as the fiscal sponsor for the Farmworker Caravan.
