50 Acts of love
#50ActsofLove · Fall & holiday 2026
Fifty years of faith in action. Add yours this season.
Since 1976, Beth-El has walked alongside farmworker families and neighbors in Wimauma. As the fields fill up for the winter harvest, help us close our 50th year strong: give, gather 50 items, or give your time.
Give a gift that works all year
A financial gift lets Beth-El buy exactly what's running low, respond quickly when a family is in crisis, and keep programs going long after the holidays.
Where your gift goes
- Food pantry and market. Families choose their own groceries, with dignity.
- Farm visits. Bringing care and essentials to workers where they are.
- Family essentials. Hygiene items, baby supplies and clothing.
- Education and healthcare access. Helping children learn and families get care.
- Spiritual and community life. A place to belong and be known.
Prefer to give by check, stock or through your church? Contact our team.
