From Heart to Plate: Guatemala Food Drive Efforts

 In Guatemala, a harsh reality plagues the lives of more than 2/3 of the population, as they are faced with the burden of living in poverty. Most of the families make less than $2.20 a day. This dire situation takes a particularly heavy toll on the young, with over half of children under the age of 5 enduring chronic malnourishment - leaving them feeling faint, weakening their immune systems, and list of other complications. Malnutrition robs not only their physical health but also their dignity & deprives them of the chance to reach their full potential.

Additionally, countless families plunged into debt just to put food on their tables last year. This compels over half of these families to skip meals or drastically shrink their portions just to make ends meet. As food costs continue to surge, the number of hungry and malnourished individuals rise each day.

At Soul139, we firmly believe that nourishing bellies can transform lives. Our unwavering goal is to provide enough food to fulfill the needs to feed hungry families. We’ve seen the heart-wrenching sight of families trekking miles to wait in line at our food distributions, their hope resting on the promise of a bag of food. 

For a modest contribution of $35, you can sponsor a family of four, supplying them a month's worth of essential groceries.
