Founded by Miami philanthropist Kimberly Shenker-Bacardi, is a charitable organization consisting of herself and friends dedicated to helping those less fortunate worldwide. After visiting Haiti on a mission trip with Food For The Poor and The Florida Marlins, Ms. Bacardi recognized the need to help.

Even clothes become a burden, the heat, stench and filth make daily life unbearable!” Cody Collins in a new mission! - Driven by the Love of Christ I decided to step out on faith and started a Help a Haitian Family Raffle here in Valparaiso, Indiana, the goal is to raise $3.100.00 dollars so a home can be built for a family in Haiti.

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 top"I am one of the Food For The Poor Speakers. I have been to Kingston Jamaica three times and have been touched with the poverty and the wonderful hearts of the people. People often ask me why do I beg for Food For The Poor. My answer is simple: I have seven children and seventeen grandchildren myself, but I have often seen fathers who cannot feed their children.

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 topI have a giant heart and a lot of passion. The poor of Jamaica have become my extended family over the last 6 years. I have seen how badly the children want to learn and see the teachers who are there and need a building in which they can use their passion for teaching to change lives. It is all about hope. Education is a key to the future for these children. This school will be built in a community full of tin shacks. With one school we can give the gift of knowledge to many for generations. Haiti lost over 4,000 schools to the earthquake the UN reports. Food For The Poor wants to build earthquake and hurricane ready schools. The material is ready.

As a young adult born in Haiti, I know the struggle, I saw it with my own eyes.... and I saw the pain and the fears in the eyes of the children. The fear of not knowing if hunger will kill them.

My church is now different. Prior to Haiti, prior to the earthquake, I read the gospels differently. As a worship leader, I used to help raise money for remodeling sanctuaries-rallying to buy padded pews for the comfort of our congregations, deciding this is what will win members. I lead differently now, after Haiti. Please join us as we work with Food For The Poor to bring hope to Haiti through Operation Starfish.
