The Lunch Plate: Plato del Día
Children living in poverty come to receive a nutritious midday meal. A typical meal, Plato del Día, includes rice and beans, vegetables, and protein, such as fish or chicken. We also have pure drinking water available to the kids who come from the surrounding communities for lunch.
The Lunch Plate Program currently serves hundreds of children each weekday at several locations. In addition, some elderly and disabled folks are served lunches as well.
Rooted in Love Gardens: From Farm to Table
Rooted in Love Gardens are nurtured and cultivated year-round to bring fresh produce to the table. Crops supplement the Lunch Plate Program with vegetables, including yucca, batata, pumpkin, cabbage, and more.
Be sure to view some beautiful garden photos. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Heart to Heart Outreach: Ministry to Seniors
