HOW YOU CAN HELP

Jamaica Hurricane Relief

Dear Neighbors,


Jamaica is bracing for a historic category 5 hurricane- Melissa is expected to make landfall early Tuesday morning - October 28th. Many families will lose their homes and all their belongings. We are praying that lives will be saved across our beautiful country.

I am reaching out for your kindness and support during this difficult time.

We are collecting non-perishable food items-canned goods, cereals, snacks, clothing hygiene products-soap, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, diapers, wipes, flashlights, batteries, and other donations to help Jamaica rebuild and recover. Every little bit counts and will go directly to those most in need.

Drop donations off at the Church of God of Prophecy, 73 Union Avenue, Providence, RI 02909. Wednesday 10am - 2pm; Saturday 1pm - 3pm.


You can also donate using the 'Donate Now' button below to help Jamaicans recover from this horrific hurricane.


Together, we can bring hope and relief to families who are struggling to recover from this catastrophic hurricane. For more information on how to support this worthy cause, please call 401-339-6598 for more information, thank you. 


In Gratitude - Marcia.

Our 4th Annual Walk to End Global Childhood Hunger and Poverty

By Marcia Ranglin-Vassell • September 6, 2024
Our 4th Annual Walk to End Global Childhood Hunger and Poverty on August 17th was a tremendous success, thanks to the incredible support of our community. This annual event is more than just a walk; it’s a powerful demonstration of solidarity and a crucial strategy in our ongoing battle against childhood hunger and poverty. It’s also our commitment to ensuring that all of our students thrive. The figures are sobering: in the United States, 74 million children are living in poverty, with 1 in 6 facing severe hardship, as reported by the Children’s Defense Fund. Globally, the situation is even more alarming, with 385 million children trapped in poverty. Here in America,and with the recent expiration of the Earned Income Tax Credit, child poverty has doubled in 2022 and the situation is only getting worse. The consequences of childhood hunger and poverty are profound and far-reaching. Hungry children encounter significant academic, behavioral, and social challenges, which can hinder their development and future prospects. These adverse childhood experiences leave lasting impacts, making our mission to address these issues even more critical. Since our inception, we have worked tirelessly to make a difference. We are proud to support children in Haiti, Jamaica, Liberia, and across the United States, collaborating with schools and organizations that align with our values to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated in this year’s walk. Your presence, your steps, and your contributions are vital to our cause. To those who support us through one-time or monthly donations, your generosity is the driving force behind our efforts. Thanks to your commitment, we are thrilled to announce that for the 2024-2025 period, we will once again be replenishing and supporting food pantries in Providence Public Schools, Johnston Public Schools, and numerous schools worldwide.  Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of countless children. Together, we are making strides towards a future where every child has access to the nourishment they need to thrive. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and for walking alongside us in this vital mission.

Childhood Hunger and Poverty are Policy Decisions: How we are Making a Difference

By Marcia Ranglin-Vassell • September 6, 2024
Six years ago, we proudly opened our first food pantry at Veazie Street Elementary School in Providence, Rhode Island. This milestone marked the beginning of a journey dedicated to addressing childhood hunger with compassion and commitment. Today, our mission has grown significantly. We are now opening and replenishing food pantries at Central High School and Thorton Elementary School in Johnston, Rhode Island. Our reach extends beyond our local community, as we continue to provide essential support to hungry children in Liberia, Haiti, and Jamaica. We are thrilled to announce that this fall, we will be expanding our local impact even further by opening a new food pantry at Dr. Martin Luther King Elementary School in Providence, Rhode Island. This new addition reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring that no child goes hungry.  Join us in this vital mission. Partner with us as we work together to feed hungry kids around the globe and make a meaningful difference in their lives. Your support is the key to sustaining and expanding our efforts, and together, we can create a world where every child has the nourishment they need to thrive.
