Free them from the Dump - Feed The Hungry

These children are searching the Rivas garbage dump outside of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. They are looking for cans, plastic bottles, metal, clothing … anything of value they can sell for food.

It’s an awful place … burning all the time and letting off toxic smoke. But the children keep coming. It’s the best way they know to earn money for food. Even though they work harder each year, the value of cans and recyclables keeps falling.

School is out of the picture for them and will remain so, unless someone like you comes along.

For $6, you can provide a good meal that will free them from the garbage dump for an entire month! On top of that, you will set them free to go to school.

We serve the meals you provide in a local church or Christian school where the children receive an education. Some of them will go on to secondary school and even college. All will have the opportunity to know Jesus Christ and His loving care all their lives.

Will a simple meal make such a difference?

Manuel knows it will.

Ever since he was a toddler, he earned his food from scrounging through a Nicaraguan garbage dump for scraps to sell. He believed he was no more valuable than the garbage he dug through day after day.

Then he met Feed The Hungry, who provided his daily food, freeing him to go to school. He was able to go to a three day Christian camp. At the end of the camp he said,

“God removed the lie that I am worthless.

Now I feel and know that I am worth

more than anything to God. “

If you decide to give to Feed The Hungry, you will be part of this very efficient charity where food is given directly to those who are hungry. That food is placed in the hands of our local partners, people we know and trust, to use it to free hungry people from the misery and disease of the garbage dump.

The children grow stronger. They go to school and receive an education. Instead of working all day, you see the children laughing and playing and helping out at home.

Last year, we gave out 32 million meals. More than 180,000 children, many of them orphans, received meals supplied by friends of Feed The Hungry in a school, church or orphanage.

These good things all begin when a friend like you decides to fight against poverty, starvation and misery. They send what they can, trusting Feed The Hungry to turn every dollar into healthy food for hungry people to eat.

And this is what we do. With all our hearts. Please do what you can. May God bless you.

Because a full life feels good,
