US: Lipman donates $50k to Redlands Christian Migrant Association

Lipman, a large North American field tomato grower, recently donated $50,000 to the Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA), an Immokalee-based nonprofit that provides childcare and early educational services to children of migrant farm workers and rural, low-income families.

Lipman’s donation will help with the construction of RCMA’s middle school, the Wimauma Leadership Academy. Funds will also support Immokalee Community School’s after-school program and will go to providing classroom and science supplies.

"Much of our labor force is comprised of migrant workers — so, it’s important for us to support nonprofits like RCMA that help the children of our employees," said Jaime Weisinger, director of community and government relations for Lipman.

Lipman has donated more than $350,000 to RCMA since 2005. RCMA also operates a daycare on the company’s Naples farm in a building donated by Lipman.
