EFWA Superbowl Sunday Tamale Benefit
Help
support the Eastern Farm Workers Association (EFWA) and enjoy some delicious
tamales in time for Superbowl Sunday! For a suggested donation of $20 per
dozen, or $10 per half dozen, you will receive authentic handmade tamales.
100% of your donation goes to support the EFWA's annual winter survival
campaign! The EFWA is a free and voluntary private membership association of
low-income workers in Suffolk County. Every winter their members face a
choice of whether to heat their homes or feed their children. For others,
it's a choice between paying rent and seeing a doctor. EFWA members help
each other meet daily survival needs while they fight the government
policies that have led to job losses, poverty wages, home foreclosures,
utility shutoffs and denial of healthcare. Support the EFWA as they support
those in need!
Click here for more information.
Volunteers Needed For The EFWA
When working men and women can't afford to live, something's got to give.
Join the Easter Farm Workers Association's (EFWA)
Winter Survival Campaign to end the winter death toll. Since 1972, the EFWA
membership of farm and other low-paid workers in Suffolk County has built an
independent organization of their own to represent their needs and
interests. EFWA never has and never will accept government funding and is
entirely volunteer-run.
Volunteers are urgently needed to join them on membership canvasses in
low-income neighborhoods twice weekly, to come on camp crews to farm labor
camps, to drive, to run distributions of donated supplies to EFWA members
around the county, to serve as medical and legal advocates, collecting
heaters and recruiting professionals for heater safety inspections, collect
blankets, warm clothing and non-perishable food items, and join in a Winter
Watch to ensure that elderly, disabled and home bound members are not
isolated during the winter months. Become part of the solution!
