Fair Food Taste Better
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a worker-based human rights organization internationally recognized for its achievements in fighting human trafficking and gender-based violence at work. The CIW is also recognized for pioneering the design and development of the Worker-driven Social Responsibility paradigm, a worker-led, market-enforced approach to the protection of human rights in corporate supply chains.
The Fair Food Program
In 2011, CIW launched the Fair Food Program (FFP), a groundbreaking model for Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) based on a unique partnership among farmworkers, Florida tomato growers, and participating retail buyers, including Subway, Whole Foods, and Walmart. In 2015, the Program expanded into tomatoes in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, as well as Florida strawberries and peppers.
How does our church help?
Our church is all about helping those who help put food on our tables. VUCC helps with the Fair Food Program and with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. We do our part to help those who work so hard be able to live and have their needs met.
We give funds and fill boxes with wonderful gifts for the children of Immokalee farmworkers. What at beautiful way to help these incredible children.
