Welcome to the Harvest of Hope Foundation!
Located in Gainesville, Florida, The Harvest of Hope Foundation is a unique non-profit 501(c) 3 organization that has been providing migrant farmworkers and their families with emergency relief and financial assistance for over 15 years.
 As of June 15, 2009 the Harvest of Hope Foundation has distributed over $733,000 to migrant farmworkers, seasonal farmworkers and their families for severe or life treating situations. The Foundation's services include, but are not limited to emergency: healthcare assistance, housing and transportation assistance, educational grants and scholarships, monthly expenses, replacement clothing, and financial aid to migrant farmworkers and seasonal farmworkers throughout the United States.
The Harvest of Hope Foundation firmly believe that factors such as limited cultural capital, lack of political power, poverty, and frequent mobility operate as barriers that continuously prevent migrant farmworkers and seasonal farmworkers from obtaining legitimate legal rights, education, healthcare and social services. Therefore, it is the Harvest of Hope Foundation's intention to be a proactive voice and leader in providing emergency services to migrant farmworkers and their families.
The Harvest of Hope Foundation serves to:
- Support migrant farmworkers and their families with emergency aid;
- Issue small grants to programs that assist migrant families;
- Provide financial aid to migrant students attending college
via the Paths To Scholarships Fund;
- Heighten awareness of the plight of migrant farmworkers in the country;
- Coordinate with agencies assisting migrant families and their children with education, immunizations and medical needs, and social services.
