I am truly moved.  Just To recap:  We visited schools today, the feeding centers, our warehouse and the mountainside […]

Hope in Haiti

Hope in Haiti

November 22, 2021May 10, 2023 FFTP

By Michael Turnbell   In Haiti, little things make a huge impact. The joy of a child seeing his or herself in a picture for the first time. A new soccer ball. A piece of candy. New shoes or a beautiful handmade dress with a matching doll. Most of the time, just the gift of […]

Food For The Poor inaugurates Honduran village

November 22, 2021May 11, 2012 Vivian Borja

I’m in a village called Valley of the Angels, about 35 minutes outside of Tegucigalpa. It is aptly named, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

I believe she is homeless, living in […]
