We have been in awe of the work Food For the Poor has done over the years in support of underprivileged communities in the Caribbean and Latin America. We also have a lot of admiration for the work you, Samantha, have done in developing the Canadian branch.Danny Chalifour
I have seen firsthand how FFPC, working with strong and knowledgeable local networks in the Caribbean, can ensure that the donations it receives for projects are delivered efficiently and effectively. Generous donors can really count on their contributions making a difference. Robert Ready, Board Chair & Donor
Supporting Food For The Poor Canada is about more than charitable giving. The work that FFPC does to build homes, provide food to vulnerable communities and ensure that people have access to much-needed supplies changes lives. It is humbling to know that I am contributing to an organization that impacts individuals and communities in such profound ways. Lisa Moore, Board Member & Donor
Having worked in partnership with Food For The Poor in Haiti, I have seen first-hand the lasting impact in the lives of the most impoverished. Food For The Poor’s integrity is outstanding; they change lives and transform communities by focussing on both relief efforts (including timely and significant responses during disasters) and sustainable development. They focus on sustainable improvements in communities from as basic as installing solar street lighting to large-scale projects including the development of housing and fishing communities.Mike Moore, Director of Empower Global
