- Feeding Those Who Feed Us:

Who? “Feeding Those Who Feed Us” - 48% of the nation’s food is grown in this area of California.
Why? More than 1 million migrant workers live in California. Many live in Migrant Centers owned by the State of California.
An open door exists for ministry to 50 of these centers. It cost $5,000 per season to adopt a center. About 100 to 125 families
live in each Center. We desire to cover the cost of several of these centers through VBS Offerings.
What would $5,000 provide?
- Clothe the children ($25.00 per child provides shoes, socks, underwear, pants, and shirt)
- Backpack for each child
- School supplies
- Food for an arriving family – 10 lbs. each of rice, beans, flour. 5lbs. each of sugar and corn meal.
- Medical care
Notation: A church can adopt a migrant center by providing the $5,000 and sending a volunteer team to do VBS, sports camps,
etc.
Last year “Feeding Those Who Feed Us” saw 1,449 professions of faith.
