National Farmworker Awareness Week (NFAW) is a nationwide week of action dedicated to educating, mobilizing, and inspiring communities to recognize farmworkers and honor their essential contributions to our food system and daily lives. 

During NFAW, AFOP and its partners will host AFOP’s annual National Long-Sleeve Shirt Drive from March 23–31, 2026. 

This initiative provides protective long-sleeve shirts to farmworkers who face prolonged sun and pesticide exposure and hazardous working conditions.  

Since 2014, AFOP and its partners have mobilized communities across the country to collect 148,632 long-sleeve shirts, providing farmworkers with essential protection from pesticide exposure, harmful UV rays, and the rigors of long hours under the sun. 

By joining this effort, you can help keep farmworkers safe, protected, and supported as they carry out the vital work that sustains our nation’s food supply.  

Together, we can transform awareness into action—supporting farmworker health, showing gratitude, and strengthening the communities that feed us all.
