Barbara Gilbert doesn’t own a home… but she’s given 14 destitute families in Jamaica a new Food For The Poor home of their own. Inspired by a recent visit to Food For The Poor, Rachel Wheeler, 9, plans to build a 25 homes in Haiti. Who is my neighbor? The question once asked of Jesus is now asked of us. Haiti and Jamaica are but a few hundred miles off U.S. shores, yet they seem a world away from our concern. Until, that is, Food For The Poor helped us see our neighbor’s face. Back to topFood blogger Laura Levy winnings go to hungry children When I joined the Quaker Oats "Awaken Your Senses" challenge, I knew I wanted my potential winnings to go to Food For The Poor. A challenge for Christ the King Church in Charlotte, NC The Family of Christ the King has been challenged to fast for one day during this holiday season and help feed the poor. Join Rob Davis in his quest to feed families I was first introduced to Food For The Poor in 2002, and since then I have developed a deep deep bond with the work that they are engaged in. During this time, I have traveled to both Jamaica and Haiti a combined seven times, seeing some of the most dire circumstances on the planet, certainly without question in the Western Hemisphere. My name is Pierce and I am 8-years. I read that people are having to eat cookies made out of clay and salt because they don’t have enough food. I want to raise enough funds so that 10 families can have their lives changed! According to UNICEF, malnutrition causes half of children’s deaths worldwide.

Back to topPort De Paix Haiti Water Project Thank you visiting our web site. We are travelers from Atlanta, Georgia who have now several times gone into poverty-stricken Haiti with Food For The Poor, visiting people in Cité Soleil, Cap-Haitien, Port-de-Paix and Gonaïves. We have decided to do something about the water situation. Small Hands with Big Hearts is a fund started by a group of neighborhood parents looking to help out some less fortunate families across the world. Millions of people don't have access to clean water, and often only have access to contaminated water that makes them sick. We want to help. Back to topCampion College is a public, co-educational Jesuit high school based in Kingston, Jamaica, which has launched a major fundraising campaign to support the many urgent development needs of the school. The Campaign has as its priority the construction of a proper modern library, which the school has been without for 15 years. Parishioners of St. Peter of Alcantara Catholic Church are fundraising to provide the vocational center they built with the necessary supplies to maintain the center's training classes. The center in Guatemala will provide poor families the opportunity to learn a trade to earn an income. Having received our primary and secondary education in Jamaica, and having migrated to the United States at various times and under various circumstances, our group of friends came together and decided to reach back to our home country and seek out a small under-served community where we could make an impact. Shortly after our group arrived in Kingston, Jamaica we visited several outreach centers throughout the area. Elijah's Trail Training Center, a men's prison and Jerusalem Children's Home, were all very touching to say the least. Back to topLeann Chong-The people of Haiti need our help Thank you to everyone who has kept me in their prayers since the earthquake in Haiti, and especially since my rescue and return to the United States. Your prayers have sustained me during this time, and I ask that you continue to pray for the people of Haiti as they recover from one of the worst disasters they ever have experienced.
