Emory Farmworker Project

It's Emory Day of Giving - a 36 hour giving challenge that unites the Emory community through collective philanthropy. You get to choose what activities at Emory you want your gift to go toward, and this year you can support the Emory Farmworker Project!

Why support EFP?

1. Provide free, quality health care to a population with critical need and limited access. Whether it's due to language, work hours, transportation, cost or other barriers, farmworkers can face significant challenges to accessing care. EFP removes as many of these barriers as we can, and your support helps us bring the right people and supplies to the right places.

2. Deliver interprofessional clinical education to future healthcare professionals. The health professional students from a wide variety of disciplines who attend the Emory Farmworker Project learn from one another and their patients to provide clinically excellent and culturally competent care. This project attracts and fosters the type of clinicians that will be the future of healthcare, and your support allows more of them to take part in this experience and serve their community.

“When you’re not making a lot of money to begin with, or you have a very high rate of food insecurity, it takes almost nothing to push you into a place that’s untenable,” says Jodie Guest, director of EFP.
