HELPING FARMERS THRIVE - THROUGH ITS TOLL-FREE NUMBER, 1-800-FARM-AID, AND ONLINE FARMER RESOURCE NETWORK DIRECTORY, FARM AID REFERS AND CONNECTS FARMERS TO AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT HELP FARMERS FIND THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO ACCESS NEW MARKETS, TRANSITION TO MORE SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE FARMING PRACTICES, AND RECEIVE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT SERVICES IN TIMES OF CRISIS. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES GRANTS TO FARM AND RURAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND COLLABORATES WITH SERVICE PARTNERS TO HELP BUILD THEIR CAPACITY FOR ADDRESSING FARMER CHALLENGES AND NEEDS. FARM AID GRANTS ALSO SUPPORT THE FARM ADVOCATE LINK, A NATIONAL NETWORK OF FARM ADVOCATES WHO PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE SERVICES TO FAMILY FARMERS. THE FARM ADVOCATE LINK'S MISSION IS TO TRAIN, SUPPORT AND RECRUIT A NEW GENERATION OF FARM ADVOCATES. WHEN NATURAL DISASTERS STRIKE AND AFFECT FARMERS, FARM AID'S FAMILY FARM DISASTER FUND RAISES FUNDS TO HELP FARMERS IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH AND PROVIDE TRAININGS TO FARMERS FOR ACCESSING DISASTER AID AND FOR BUILDING ON-FARM RESILIENCE TO PREPARE FOR FUTURE DISASTERS.
