'Our family supports Food for the Poor. Our goal is to do at least a house per year, and hopefully more. We have 4 pictures of families that have houses now… They are OUR family. We look at where they live on the map. We feel connected to them.'

I support Food for the Poor because it gives me such a wonderful feeling to know that I am helping to feed and clothe my brothers and sisters in Christ. What in the world would happen to them if we didn’t take an interest in their well-being? Also Food for the Poor uses only about 4% of the money sent and the rest goes directly to helping others.'

'Why do I support Food For The Poor? In Aug 2009, my son and I went on a FFP mission trip to Jamaica. There is no substitute for seeing firsthand the hardships these people endure, and also the good that FFP brings to their lives. Our trip was very special for both of us, one we will not forget…nor will we forget the people that need our help.'

'I support Food For The Poor because of their work in countries like Haiti and knowing that over 96% of my donation goes directly toward helping the poor.'

Food For The Poor is a great way to get most of what I donate to go to the those who need it. I have been blessed beyond measure. The least that I can do is share what I have with those who have such a huge need.
