Food distribution day #2

by Jeric Montealto | April 25, 2025 9:35 AM

After the time with the elderly we went to visit some houses and we could met Allison, she shared with us that in the morning when she opened the fridge she didn’t have more than a seasoning cube, she was wondering how she was going to feed her kids but then, in the afternoon she got our visit and we broke in tears to see the way that God takes care of us and our needs providing for her family.

““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV

Food distribution day #2
