The Farmworker Coordinating Council is a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive social and human services to Palm Beach County s farmworkers and their families. The FWCC began in the winter of 1977-78 with a group of volunteers who responded to the emergency needs of farmworkers affected when a sudden freeze destroyed much of the area s fruits and vegetables. Since then the unique and acute needs of the farmworkers of Palm Beach County have been served by the efforts of this small but productive agency.
