Supporting Vermont’s Migrant Farm Workers With Bodywork That Honors Their Labor

At Sterling Touch Massage, we’re creating an open fund to offer free, trauma-informed bodywork to Vermont’s migrant farmworkers. Vermont’s migrant workers, who are largely Spanish-speaking, are laborers who rarely have access to this kind of care.
They harvest our food. They endure physical pain, harsh conditions, exhaustion and the pain of feeling invisible in their community, our community.

Here at Sterling Touch Massage we value community, respect, and giving back.

This is not charity. It’s reciprocity. It’s respect. It’s showing up for our neighbors in a way that is tangible and deeply needed.

We’ve pledged $2,500 worth of bodywork. We are able to offer massage sessions in Spanish. Our work is grounded in trust, and tailored to the specific physical tolls of agricultural labor. Now, we’re inviting our community to match and multiply that effort through donations. Every dollar you give funds massage sessions and on-site farm visits, your help sustains our ability to offer this work without barriers.

Let your support uplift our community by providing care at the most basic human level. Through care, respect, and dignity.

Why Give?

  • ✽

    They feed us.
    Now it's our turn to offer something back. Real care, in the language their bodies understand.

  • ✽

    Bringing free massage to Vermont’s farm workers.
    It’s not a luxury. It’s a quiet revolution, one healing session at a time.

  • ✽

    Massage can be more than relaxation.
    It can be a moment of rest in a life that never stops moving.

  • ✽

    Most farmworkers in Vermont are Spanish speakers.
    This creates an invisible barrier.
    We offer bodywork in Spanish, meeting workers where they are. In their language, in their bodies, and with respect.

  • ✽

    Rest shouldn’t be a privilege.
    Everyone should have the right to heal and rest. This work brings us closer to those who are too often left out.

  • ✽

    There’s power in showing up.
    Let your donation be an act of solidarity and reciprocity. Not just charity.
    Join us in supporting a part of our community that’s too often unseen, unheard, and underserved.
