Formerly the California Migrant Ministry the NFWM began as an agency of the Southern and Northern California Council of Churches, and an affiliate of the Migrant Ministry of the National Council of Churches. The NFWM records reflect the various services they provided to farm workers and their families and the active role they played in the organization of farm workers, in promoting legislation, and in lending support to strikers. Specifically, the work of Sister Patricia Drydyk, an organizer from the NFWM and the UFW, is included.
