The entire series will cover all the states in the mainland, including Puerto Rico. These directories are compiled for use by agencies working with migrant and seasonal farmworkers. It is our objective that in the utilization of this directory,_.theawareness of programmatic needs and services of the farmworker will be increased. Our goal has been and continues to be the creation ofa greater sense of community among agencies seeking to serve the migrant and seasonal farmworker.

EDWARD'S UNIVERSITY Brother Stephen Walsh, C.S.0 President Charles Muller Chairman of the Board INTRODUCTION MIGRANT PROGRAMS IN ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, LOUISIANA MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA The purpose of this book is to consolidate under one cover a_listing of all ser- vices and resources available to migrant farmworkers during their stay in the states herein included. The staff of the National Migrant Information Clearinghouse has endeavored to make this directory as complete and as accurate as possible. However, some of the listings of organizations, programs or agencies may contain some obsolete information after the printing date. Although many programs have the stability of long term and established services, others are often short-lived or constantly subject to change as new needs, priorities and objectives appear or as operating funds expire. Information for this directory was obtained entirely from Federal, state and local agencies in the various states. Only programs actually in existence at the time the information was collected have been included, but due to the lag time between gathering information and then publishing it, an effort was made to keep astride of all farm labor developments in these states during this time. Special emphasis wa; placed in obtaining only information and data current as of summer 1973. There are several reasons why this was not always possible. Many organizations particularly state agencies, do not normally summarize their service activities until the end of each calendar year. Still others provided less than full cooperation to Clearinghouse staff, or did not cooperate at all. As a result, some of the information had to be obtained from secondary sources. This directory is therefore only as accurate as the information which was provided by the sources contacted. A sincere effort .has been made to authenticate as much of the information thNt- appears in this book as possible. However, the limited time and resources available for this project virtually rendered impossible the verification of every item of information. TABLE OF CONTENTS Intfbduction A.
