CUBA! 💙💚

We are very excited to share that we are working with a new partner to deliver meals…in Cuba! Our first shipment of 70,000 meals is currently being distributed throughout Cuba by partners of Atulado Ministries, a nonprofit based here in Charlotte NC. We already have more than 175 photos (some are posted below) and many firsthand accounts of the impact SWH food is making in the lives of hungry children and adults in the needy nation.

The meals in this shipment were packed by volunteers at Elevation Church Riverwalk in Rock Hill SC, Sugar Creek Elementary School in Fort Mill SC, and Union Academy in Monroe NC. We are grateful to each individual, family, and student who helped make this exciting shipment happen. Without your efforts, we would not be able to have such a big influence on so many people!

In addition to the photos, many of the pastors distributing the meals have shared stories about specific recipients (translated from Spanish).

“Many abundant blessings for all this team of men and women of God, I am Pastor Jonathan Cabrera of the City of Bayamo. We participate in the great blessing of the packages of rice. The local leadership team in the church is sharing this food with people in extreme need, and they share some images of these very special moments.”

“Once again, on behalf of the Evangelical Church, as pastor of the same, we would like to express our most sincere thanks for such noble kindness that you have had for us in this ministry. We thank you, Pastor Ofelio Platero.”

“This woman lives with her mother who has personality and social problems. We thank God for being a channel of blessing, for being able to reach all these people with terrible situations and be able to help. God bless the entire Atulado and HTF team.”

“This lady with cancer, the Lord has taken her out of difficult times, her faith has kept her going.”

“This lady says that she had nothing to eat today, but that God is never late.”

“This man lives with his 13-year-old son and tells us that yesterday he and his son went to bed without eating anything, because food is scarce and the prices that do appear are very high.”

Please pray for the recipients of the food, as well as for those distributing meals. We look forward to sending many more meals to Cuba in the near future!
