Food For The Poor inaugurates Honduran village

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. Before we started our 53 homes here, God had already done His beautiful work – surrounded by lush mountains and two rivers, the poor of this village that […]

“A sword will pierce your heart.” Those words, spoken to Mary by the aged Simeon, ring true for all mothers. With the discomforts of pregnancy, when features swell with gained weight, a once graceful walk becomes a waddle, and the excruciating pain of the last stages of labor make her scream in agony, a mother […]

November 22, 2021May 18, 2009 Angel

For some time now, Food for the Poor, through the generosity of its donors, has been buying container-loads of musical instruments and sending them to the poorest areas of our countries, to schools and communities, hoping that the young people who receive them will choose a musical instrument over a knife or gun. The program […]
