Hope Feeding in the Streets

Hope Feeding in the Streets Program feeds a hot meal to children in the streets on the mountain Monday through Friday. We received food from the World Food Program several years ago, but they restricted our distribution only to the children in the public school. We decided to purchase it ourselves to take care of those children in the streets who also really needed the food. Today, we feed a hot meal to an average of 300 children each day.

 

 About the Program

Malnutrition is still a big problem on the mountain where we serve. The meal we serve each morning is, many times, the only meal the child receives all day. Beans, rice and tortillas are still the staple that replaces their usual bag of chips and a coke for breakfast.

Our staff walks through the streets each morning and serves the children as they run to the corner to get their meal. They carry the pot full of hot food and the tortillas over quit a large area of the colonia in order to reach the children in need.

This is a favorite activity when we have visiting short term mission teams. It’s a great way to get up close and personal with the residents of the area and they love that we are out in the streets in their neighborhood!

This program was the first way we helped the people on this mountain and we still do it today. The cost of food has increased 42% here in Honduras, so if you are interested in helping feed these childre, please click the Donate button below, send a check to Hope For Honduras Inc, PO Box 11787, Spring, TX 77391, or send us an email at contactus@hope4honduras.org.
