  • Major source of winter tomatoes and other produce

  • Foreign-born residents: 38% (primarily from Mexico, Guatemala, and Haiti)

  • Poverty rate: 24 - 65%

  • USDA-classified food desert with limited access to affordable, nutritious foods

  • 1 in 2 farmworker families struggle to afford enough nutritious food each week

Food Insecurity in Immokalee, Florida

The Harvesters Left Behind

  • Over 60% of farmworkers live in overcrowded, aging trailers, often without proper plumbing or insulation

  • Exorbitant rent often over $400/week per person

  • Most families share housing with strangers and have no access to leases or tenant rights

  • Limited access to transportation

  • High food prices and low wages force families to skip meals or rely on donations

  • Immigration status often prevents access to food assistance programs like SNAP

    Join us as we work to end food insecurity in farmworker communities.
