Episcopal Farmworker Ministry
Our parish maintains a long tradition of serving the children of the Farmworkers whether it be to collect and provide for school supplies or to create and deliver Easter Baskets, helping hands come together to make the lives of these children easier and filled with joy.
EFWM is a joint project of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina and the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, based in Dunn, NC. We work with agricultural workers (farmworkers, meat processing plant workers, and workers from nurseries, packing houses and poultry, swine, or livestock farms) and immigrant families in Eastern rural NC. Our ministry coordinates direct services, leadership programs, community education programs, and advocacy in support of the community. The majority of the people that we serve live in Duplin, Harnett, Johnston, Lenoir, and Sampson counties. Since 1982, we have worked with farmworkers and their families to create a better world for the future generations.
