The work begins early

Before the sun rises, the day has already begun.

Across Florida, farmworker families begin their work early, harvesting the food that sustains our communities.

For 50 years, Beth-El has walked alongside these families, offering not only resources, but a place of support, belonging, and care.

Farmworker families

Why This Work Matters

Farmworkers are the backbone of our food system, yet many continue to face significant challenges, including food insecurity, unstable income, limited access to healthcare, and housing instability.

At Beth-El, we believe every family deserves to be supported with dignity and respect. True care extends beyond immediate needs. It requires long-term commitment, community, and trust.

Families served each week

Beth-El currently serves more than 600 families each week, responding not only to immediate needs, but also working toward long-term transformation through community building, advocacy, and empowerment.

Behind every number is a family whose journey is supported through care, connection, and opportunity.

Farmworkers are the backbone of our food system, yet many still struggle to meet their most basic needs. As we celebrate 50 years, we are not only honoring the past—we are recommitting ourselves to walk alongside our community with dignity, faith, and justice.
