Food for the Hungry needs immediate funding and volunteers to help victims of Hurricane Georges in the Dominican Republic. It is estimated that 300,000 homes have been seriously damaged countrywide. In FHI regions, approximately 1,500 families are either displaced or living without a roof. They also have no electricity, and food shortages and lack of sanitation will soon become problems. Churches are invited to have food drives within their communities, so long as the food they collect is high-protein canned goods such as tuna, sardines, beans and soup, they can send the food to the FH staging area, and they can help pay for shipping the food to the Dominican Republic.
Donors also can give via secure server online.
Food for the Hungry is an international relief and development organization that was founded in 1971 and has ongoing programs in over 25 of the world's poorest countries, including the Dominican Republic.
