When the pandemic hit, Niagara Migrant Workers Community Partners was there for migrant workers. A partner of KAIROS’ Empowering Temporary Foreign Workers During COVID-19, this organization supplied emergency food, clothing, spiritual care and welcome kits to approximately 700 Caribbean men and women working in Niagara on the Lake. A cornerstone of the ETFW project, welcome kits offer vital resources about COVID protocols and services for the workers, as well as water, snacks and other essentials. “They are a fun, practical way for individuals, families, schools and community groups to connect with temporary agricultural workers who contribute so much to our community,” says the organization.
This wonderful video highlights the spirit of this project. |
