Thank you everyone who supported the Emory Farmworker Project on Emory Day of Giving - whether through sharing and spreading the word or pledging a gift, we are grateful to each and every one of you! In just 36 hours this community raised over $3,000 for farmworker care!

Dear EFP Community:

Thank you to everyone who participated through giving and sharing in the first day of the 9th Annual Emory Day of Giving! We have raised $2,500 from 17 donors, bringing us 50% of the way to our goal! 🎉 The campaign ends today (3/26) at 6 PM. We would like to finish strong and thus are making a pitch to everyone that has not yet donated to do so, and please continue to share for these final hours! https://donate.emory.edu/schools/EmoryUniversity/emory-day-of-giving-2026/pages/medicine/emorypa

We are extremely proud of the Emory Farmworker Project and everyone who contributes in a myriad of way to make care possible for farmworkers. Funds raised during this Day of Giving will help us continue to sustain and expand care through the supplies and service we offer.

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.

‘Invisible’ migrant farmworkers cope with hurricane’s aftermath • Stateline Hurricane Helene hit south Georgia just before harvest time, destroying the homes and livelihoods of migrant farmworkers who make up the bulk of the state’s agricultural workforce.

Got food?

The Emory Farmworker Project returned to Bainbridge this weekend to provide healthcare to Georgia’s farmworkers. In 4 clinics across the past 3 days we cared for 215 patients.
