Event description:
"This year, our immigrant Farm Working families have been heavily impacted by the current administration. Life has become even more challenging in different aspects that are affecting their daily life. Many are finding it hard to make ends meet and with the start of school, we asked ourselves, what can we do to uplift them? How can we support farmworker families, who during COVID were deemed–essential?
This is why, at Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), we are coming together to host a Back-to-School event, September 7th, at the San Miguel Park from 9:00 am- 12:00 pm and we need your support. Our goal is to distribute backpacks for students, but we know these are extremely difficult times. So, apart from the backpack distribution, we would like to ease the financial burden by providing necessary items for Back-to-school.
If you would like to support this cause, please reach out to us or come directly to our office. We are more than happy to receive any donations from 9AM-6PM, Monday through Friday. If this time doesn't work, we can also arrange a pick up time before September 5th. We are hoping to receive these items by September 5th.
Contact Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project office if needed and arrange a pickup time."
