Feed My Children's Fund

Created to help distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to the street children and nutritional food to the homeless and unwanted of society. Mission is to help prevent malnourishment in those at risk and help provide medical care to those suffering the effects of malnourishment. Currently we are providing fresh fruits and vegetables to those at risk of malnourishment and medical supplies to hospitals and health clinics providing care for those suffering the effects of malnourishment.

Feed My Children's Fund distributed a total of 3,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables valued at $4,980. Providing 2,500 meals to 150 at risk families and helped 300 hungry children. The direct clients are served by our Community Agents who distribute up to 60 pounds to families in need in their neighbor hoods. ************************************************************* Feed My Children's Fund collaborates with a host site (Church, School or civic group) who provides between 10 and 15 volunteers and identifies people in the community who will come and select up to 60 lbs of produce that they will deliver to people they have identified who are in need. A semi load of 5 to 7 varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables is set up on tables where the community agents can select the produce they will distribute to people in need in their community.

Feed My Children's Fund provided the following Medical Supplies to Organizacion Christiana De Beneficio Social Esperanza De Vida Children's Hospital (St. Lukes) which serves over 12,000 patients annually with services provided 24 hours every day: In-kind contributions: General Medical supplies. With a value of $23,400. *************************************************************These supplies help their Baby Rescue program where over 3,000 children on the brink of starvation are brought to the St. Lukes Hospital each year. These sick children are found in some of the most remote areas of Guatemala and are transported by burro, canoe and truck. Many stay at the St. Lukes Nutritional Center for weeks, others are abandoned by their parents and are given a home in the children's home, and some have dire needs that they must be sent to far away hospitals in an effort to save their lives.

Testimonials

• Today was the first day that we participated in this incredible program. We had enough produce to share with three neighbors! I have a huge passion for building community within my neighborhood - this presented the perfect opportunity for my family to knock on three neighbors doors with gifts in hand! Perfect! Who knows where this will lead!
