Just before Easter, Food For The Poor Canada loaded a 40′ combo container with a 50/50 load of nutrient-rich canned chickpeas and life-saving medicines for Haiti.
Thanks to our partnership with Enable Haiti and Health Partners International of Canada, we are able to ship food and medicine to Haiti several times a year. Our partner on the ground Food For The Poor Haiti is on the receiving end to make sure that the medicine and food is distributed where it is needed the most, often in remote areas.
We are getting ready to ship another 40′ container of food at the end of this month. Just like last year, we are working with Ontario farmers and Gleaners to pack and ship several thousand 3 lbs bags of dried vegetable soup mix to Haiti where it is benefiting poor rural communities with scarce access to food.
