Migrant workers are a crucial part of our economy, agricultural industry, and society as a whole, yet they often have no way of securing help when they need it. With that in mind, take a peek at these resources, which can help you assist them. 

 

    
**The Bare Minimum**  
Every human being deserves to have their basic needs met. Unfortunately, many migrant workers often struggle with their essentials.   
 

[Healthcare](https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2020/04/23/483488/protecting-farmworkers-coronavirus-securing-food-supply/) is a must-have, especially during the pandemic.   
[Mental health](https://theconversation.com/migrant-workers-face-further-social-isolation-and-mental-health-challenges-during-coronavirus-pandemic-134324) is a concern as well.   
It’s not unusual for [housing](https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2016/05/02/struggle-to-provide-housing-for-migrant-farmworkers) to be a problem.   
[Crowded conditions](https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2020/04/pennsylvania-migrant-farm-workers-coronavirus/) compound their health concerns.   
[Food insecurity](https://addisonindependent.com/news/migrant-farmworkers-face-food-insecurity) is also a common issue.  
Taking care of their [children](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24911688/) while they work can be problematic.

   
**People and Organizations**  
   
There are resources available in the form of people and organizations, but migrants often don’t know where to turn. You can connect them with appropriate help or even dive in with a solution.  
 

[Head Start](http://www.rcma.org/wordpress/programs/head-start/) is a valuable resource for all parents.  
There are online opportunities for [hiring](https://localbabysitter.com/) child care.  
Starting a [daycare](https://www.sunbeltatlanta.com/blog/starting-a-daycare-business) is another practical way to meet childcare needs.  
There are portable housing structures for [temporary shelter](https://www.falconstructures.com/portable-living-container).   
The Migrant Clinicians Network [provides services](https://www.migrantclinician.org/issues/behavioralhealth) for mobile populations.  
Those in need of legal assistance can find [top freelancers](https://www.upwork.com/hire/) via job boards like Upwork.

   
**Tech Tools**  
   
These days, there is tech available for everything under the sun. When migrant workers and their helpers need real-time assistance, apps can come to the rescue.   
 

[Foodfinder US](https://foodfinder.us/) can help with sourcing free food.   
[Just Good Work](https://justgood.work/) is an app designed specifically for migrant workers.  
[ImMigRant](https://www.migrantaid.eu/) helps migrant workers with their healthcare concerns.   
[CitizenshipWorks](https://www.newamericanscampaign.org/want-citizenship-theres-an-app-for-that/) assists with applications for citizenship.

   
The plight of migrant workers can sound grim at first glance, but problems always present opportunities. Turn to the people and organizations that can help, and don’t be afraid to step in with critical tools and information. Together we can make a difference.
