Food distribution program: 200 families (approx 700 individuals) receive a monthly supplemental food package. These families live in extreme poverty on and around a community landfill. 4,000 pounds of rice & beans (grains)are distributed to an established list of recipients each month. During the distribution, we provide education & information on topics and opportunities to help improve health & well-being as well as self-sufficiency.
