Mission
Our mission is to eradicate poverty in the community at large. We aim to provide food security in vulnerable underprivileged, and impoverished communities.
Nutrition
We work with our volunteer kitchens to provide food to seniors and to youth before and after school.
Relief
Providing nutrition allows our beneficiaries to live a fuller life where they don't have to worry about access to food.
Empowerment
Empowerment means more than just the provision of food. We provide skill workshops for the unemployed within our communities and give youth access to various recreational and creative opportunities.

Inception
We began by engaging with the community through sessions, discussing common challenges such as poverty, gender-based violence, child abuse, and teenage pregnancy. Our goal was to create awareness and positive change in these areas.

Introducing Food Service
Our sessions took place from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and one day we decided to bring bread, coffee, and tea because people were always hungry after our sessions. We started bringing homemade meals, which the participants, particularly the seniors, greatly appreciated. This positive response motivated me to make it a regular occurrence.

Transition to Serving Youth
We found that when we left a 14:00, there were always children coming to play who would see us eating lunch; you could see from their faces that they were hungry. To address this, we decided to extend our services and began serving soup to alleviate the hunger of these children.

Seeking Funds
In the absence of sponsors, we initially operated as a once-a-week program. Our aim was not to establish an organization but to provide immediate sustenance to people in need. It was quite a struggle because we were only bringing food from our house, and some days, we didn't have any to bring. Fortunately, we now have some support from local grocers who provide us with groceries and food parcels.
