Farmworker Awareness Week: Long Sleeve Shirt Drive
March 24, 2025
The High School Equivalency Program (HEP) inside the Bengal Success Center is excited to announce a Long-Sleeve Drive in honor of Farmworker Awareness Week March 25-31. This initiative aims to support the hardworking farmworkers who play an essential role in feeding our communities.
Farmworkers often endure long hours under the sun, facing exposure to pesticides and harsh conditions that can harm their skin. By donating long sleeve shirts, we can help protect them from sunburn, heat exhaustion, and chemical exposure, ensuring they have a safer and healthier work environment.
Collection boxes are located around campus to collect new or gently used long sleeve shirts throughout the week. Every donation makes a difference and shows appreciation for the vital work that farmworkers do daily.
