Our mission continues the work of our founder Bitten Falge and is to procure and distribute food, clothing and other essential items to individuals and families residing in traditional farmworker living quarters located in the southern area of Monterey County
We are funded solely by donations from parishioners and with generous support from local branches of the Order of Malta and the Knights of Columbus. Every dollar donated is used to enhance the lives of those who work so hard for all of us and struggle to make ends meet. We regularly distribute food, clothing, personal hygiene items, and other items essential for the adults and children living in these areas.
Would you like to make a monetary donation to help us buy groceries and essential items?
Every dollar that you donate helps us with these purchases.
Please make a check payable to the Carmel Mission, and please make a notation in the memo section that says: FALGE FARMWORKER.
Our mailing address is 3080 Rio Road, Carmel, CA 93923.
This is such a wonderful way to help feed the working poor.
Our volunteers gather on the fourth Thursday of the month to procure, sort, pack, load and deliver groceries to our Farmworker families. Each family receives essential pantry items and semi perishable goods to help with their grocery needs. We meet regularly with our recipients to learn what items they want most and how best to serve their needs.
Christmas is a special time of year for all of us. Our Falge volunteers work very hard to make
this time special for our farmworker families as well. In addition to groceries, we distribute gifts
and stuffed animals to bring joy to the children living there.
There are many ways that you can help us from procuring groceries, packing groceries, loading products in vehicles and delivering grocery bags to the farm labor camps. You can do as much, or as little as you desire. All are welcome in any capacity that you choose. We deliver groceries on the fourth Thursday of every month (except November and December).
The Falge Farmworker Ministry provides large grocery bags filled with many staple pantry items for each farmworker family, as well as a gift card for each child to help celebrate the joy of Christmas.
Help this ministry continue supporting this outreach by giving as much, or even a little more than last year.
Please make your checks payable to Carmel Mission.
Remember to note Falge Farmworkers on the memo line.
