Program History:

We are 2years old in practise. The project was motivated by the recession and the impact it had on food security. Then, we partnered with our Area Food Bank, in a feeding program that is not just food pantry. Secondly, the project was also an answer to the clarion call by the President for the global recovery.

Volunteer Participation: All of our directors are volunteers. We do not have a paid staff. We are seeking funds.
