Raising Up Future Gold Medalists

October 22, 2014March 21, 2023 Robby

Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America (and here in sunny South Florida), you will find world class athletes in many sports like soccer, baseball, cricket, swimming, track & field and many others. If there’s a sport that’s played in warm weather, chances are people in our part of the world excel at it.

But “cold weather” sports? Snow and ice? That’s not really our thing.

Or is it? 

We at Food For The Poor are proud to support our brothers and sisters in Jamaica, Dominica and Mexico, as they send athletes to compete in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games! In addition to TEAM USA, we are rooting for the Jamaican bobsled team, as well as the skiers who are representing Dominica and Mexico.

While we’ll all enjoy watching the spectacle of the Games, we also hope they will serve as a reminder of the tremendous potential inside every human being. When you do things like sponsor an orphan, provide instruments for a marching band, support a school, or help start a micro-enterprise initiative, you are giving people an opportunity to achieve their full potential. Your generosity can pave the way for future teachers, scientists, presidents, engineers… or maybe even a future Gold Medalist!

*ANIMAL HUSBANDRY: Food For The Poor has ongoing animal husbandry and apiary programs that support impoverished families and communities. The funds that are raised from animals and bees in this catalog are used to support the aforementioned programs.

**HOUSING: Because of the size and need of the average family, for $9,800, we build all houses with two bedrooms and a living area, sanitation and a water component, a cooking area, a sink, furnishings, lighting and structural elements to withstand severe weather conditions. You will receive a Certificate of Appreciation with a photograph of the family in front of their secure and comfortable home.
