Fill the JAR 2025

Join congregations around the country as we “Fill the JAR” of God’s economic justice. This year:  

Support fair food and farmworker wages and safety with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and their transformational Fair Food Program! 

The United Church of Christ has supported the CIW and farmworkers for decades as they’ve mobilized to ensure the food on our tables carries guarantees that those who grow and pick it are paid well, protected from abuse and modern slavery, and experience dignified working conditions. 

Want to learn more? Fill out the interest form below!

The UCC’s Minister for Economic Justice will respond to walk through the commitments you and your congregation would like to make:

1. Zoom with the CIW! Invite the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to provide two educational sessions for your church. 
2. Sustain the Fair Food Program! Become a “Fair Food Sustainer” – as individuals and a congregation. Give once, pledge monthly, set an annual donation goal, or all of the above! 
3. Take action to advance the Fair Food Program with major corporate holdouts Kroger and Wendy’s! These can be virtual, postcard, and in-person actions. 
4. Mark Labor Sunday this fall. You can use the new “Labor Sunday Liturgy” offerings and invite a “Labor in the Pulpit” presentation! 
5. Boost your church’s offering to “Neighbors in Need” 

This campaign is partnering with resources and opportunities from the AFL-CIO, the National Farmworker Ministry, and any other workers your church decides to show solidarity in 2025 and beyond!
