Farm Health Connectors in Anson, Duplin, Pitt, Robeson, and Wilkes Counties are trusted members of the agriculture community that work to assist farmers, farm families, and farm workers. Connectors work to address physical, social, and spiritual issues (e.g., medical supplies/equipment, food, utilities, transportation, caregiving, etc.) that cause stress by connecting those in need with community resources.
