Families or organizations will host a dinner for a group of 15-70 male farmworkers at their camp where they live. Once a date is chosen we will let you know what restrictions there are for that location, how many people and the meetup location. Groups are only expected to host a dinner, however if you wish to bring gifts or donations please let us know so we can make sure it is allowed.
