​MFAF serves and empowers Missouri's migrant and seasonal farmworkers.  MFAF's staff meet with workers and their families when they first arrive at the orchards in late summer to welcome them, deliver food bags and hygiene kits, determine needs for medical and dental services and complete school enrollment forms.  From then until the workers migrate to their next work location, MFAF seeks to meet critical needs with visits to the orchard labor camps. For the families who have settled in the area, year-round assistance is provided.  Items that are especially appreciated are blankets, sweaters and jackets, white rice (not instant), sunscreen (SPF30+), bandanas and Spanish language children's books. 

We greatly appreciate your support as we work to keep our events safe! Please check our website and Facebook for the most up-to-date information.

• We are accepting all packs and kits listed in the booklet at all Sharefest locations.

• At most locations, we have decided to limit the number of volunteers, drawing first from local church members of host sites.
  • St. Louis is a location open to other volunteers. Please fill out the interest form at festivalofsharing.org/east-region-stl and we will reach out to you.
