COVID-19 Updates and Resources | Rural & Migrant Ministry

We are here for you

We understand that we are living in unprecedented times. Now, in addition to physical distancing, we must practice social connectedness. To protect the safety of our staff and participants we are all working remotely -- but trust us that we are still doing everything we can to accompany rural families in challenging times as they do the work that feeds the country. Please see below for program updates, contacts, resources, and action steps.

Do you want to support our work, and the families who form RMM? Your donations are more critical now than ever. Thank you.

Masks for Farmworkers Campaign

Farmworkers need masks to safely do their work. Too many do not have access to masks and other basic protections in their workplace. We have been collecting and distributing masks. Thank you to all who have donated so far! Contact one of our regional coordinators to arrange a mask donation.
