Redlands Christian Migrant Association


No, it’s not a typo. Redlands Christian Migrant Association receives 680% of the price of its holiday cards to help children of migrant farm workers in Florida.

For every $15 set of cards, RCMA receives $6.45 after production costs. State and federal sources then match that $6.45 sixteen to one. So a $15 card purchase results in $103.20 for RCMA.

The largest non-profit child-care provider in Florida, RCMA provides quality child care and early education for nearly 8,000 children of migrant farm workers and rural, low-income families throughout the state. More than 2,000 children are on waiting lists.
