In the winter of 1977-1978, Ernesto Gonzalez and a group of volunteers mobilized to support farmworkers without work after a sudden freeze.
What began in a borrowed warehouse has since evolved into the Farmworker Coordinating Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. (FWCC), a dedicated social services agency addressing the ongoing challenges faced by farmworkers and the poor in Lake Worth and Belle Glade.
Today, FWCC provides critical support to over 20,000 migrant and seasonal farmworker families, landscaping workers, and financially struggling families through a range of essential social programs which help with housing assistance, utilities support, food distribution, clothing allocation, and toiletries give aways. Additionally, FWCC provides at least $1,000,000 worth of food aid per year.
With a team of only 11 full-time professionals operating from offices in Lake Worth and Belle Glade, FWCC remains steadfast in its mission to empower farmworker communities and build a brighter future for those who help feed America and beyond!
