Farm to Fork: Nourishing Delaware’s Communities
Thank you all – who attended our 1st Annual Farm to Fork: Nourishing Delaware’s Communities fundraiser on September 20, 2024. With support from our sponsors and donors, we raised more than $41,000 to support the care we provide to the migrant and seasonal farmworkers in Kent and western Sussex County.
The sold-out event brought together Delaware’s farm communities and Westside supporters to enjoy a great night out. A special thank you to our partners and sponsors: Bayhealth, Beebe Healthcare, WSFS Foundation, Terri Hasson, Arthur Hall, Gallager Benefits Services, LabCorp, Wilmington University, and the Wawa Foundation.
All proceeds will support our agricultural worker patients through our Rural Health Outreach Program, which supports migrant and seasonal agricultural workers (MSAW) in Kent and western Sussex counties with our mobile health outreach team. Our MSAW team delivers care directly at farms and housing communities during Delaware’s growing season to overcome the barriers these workers face in accessing healthcare.
