We believe that nobody should go to bed hungry because food is a basic human need. So, we created our free meal program to end hunger in Hispanic communities and help people meet their daily nutritional needs.

From food programs that provide kid-friendly meals to soup kitchens and home delivery food services for adults, we help food-insecure Hispanics escape daily hunger and eat nutritious meals every weekend, summer, winter, and holiday season.

Our food pantries give hungry Hispanics – including those living outside of the U.S – food packages that contain canned meals and fresh or frozen food items they can cook at home. They also provide emergency food assistance that helps people affected by disasters.

Our food pantries are mostly needed in communities with many low-income families and unemployed individuals or neighborhoods where grocery stores are far from the residential area.

Most households and individuals struggling with hunger find it hard to go to food pantries or soup kitchens to get food due to distance or the feeling of shame. We allow this vulnerable population to maintain their self-dignity by setting up community gardens where people can learn how to grow food by themselves.

During one of our most recent surveys, we discovered the following information regarding the Hispanic community suffering from food insecurity:
* More than 80% expressed worries about not knowing where their next meal will come from.
* 90% said that the food they have at home might not last until their next paycheck.
* Almost 97% said they survived on junk food and cannot afford to eat healthy and balanced meals.
* Almost 95% said they have skipped meals because they couldn't afford them and said that skipping meals happened more frequently after the Covid-19 lockdown.
* Some said that they still felt hungry even after eating because they could not afford enough.
* 98% said that they have gone to bed hungry on more than one occasion in the last three months.
* Almost 50% agreed that they lost weight because they did not have enough money to buy enough food.
* 48% agreed that they sometimes only ate in the evening because they did not have enough money to buy food throughout the day.
* 28% of Hispanic families in the US were food insecure in 2021
* Nearly 1 in 3 Venezuelans have less than two meals per day
* Over 20 million Mexicans suffered from hunger in 2020
* 40% of Puerto Rican households with children are food insecure.
