To The World You Maybe One, but for One You're Everything
Even though we can mention how difficult the 2020 has been, we can also talk about the opportunities it has given us. We have been able to work in alliance with other organizations that we had never worked with. Also, we have reach communities that we had not impacted before.
Since December 2019 our schools in Puerto Rico has been closed due to earthquakes and COVID-19. A national lockdown, has forced students to stay at home, study online while also trying to stay motivated and safe in the middle of a pandemic. Due to the situations stated above and the increase in hunger across the Island, For Such a Time as This continues to help feed hungry children and adults in Puerto Rico wherever possible.
At the beginning of the lockdown, many of the families which were living in a precarious economic situation went into extreme poverty during a very short and rapid period of time. Not only did parents lose the jobs they had in order to provide food for their families, but children could no longer go to school to get their one meal per day which was normally guaranteed for them. This has caused serious social, emotional and socioeconomic problems to our island.
For Such a Time as This, has distributed over 24,000 pounds of food to Puerto Rican families since March 2020. We are grateful to every person and organization that supports us in this mission and daily commitment.
Get out today, help someone, you may be the only person helping them today. To The World You Maybe One, but for One You're Everything.
Love y’all
