Continuing its efforts to help its farmworkers, the Immokalee, Fla.-based Lipman has donated $50,000 to the Redlands Christian Migrant Association.
The money is designed to help RCMA build the Wimauma Leadership Academy middle school. The money will also provide classroom and science supplies for the Immokalee Community School’s afterschool program, according to a news release.
“Much of our labor force is comprised of migrant workers, so it’s important for us to support nonprofits like RCMA that help the children of our employees,” Jaime Weisinger, Lipman’s director of community and government relations, said in the release.
Since 2005, Lipman has contributed more than $350,000 to RCMA.
RCMA, which provides childcare and early educational services to children of migrant farmworkers and rural, low-income families, also operates a daycare facility on Lipman’s Naples, Fla., farming operation in a building Lipman donated.
