Help Us Fight Hunger in San Miguel de Allende
Feed the Hungry San Miguel is committed to improving the health and well-being of malnourished children and disadvantaged families in San Miguel de Allende
Feed the Hungry San Miguel, founded in 1984, recognizes that the future of Mexico depends on the vitality of its children. Our mission is to provide the nutrition that they need to grow and to thrive, and to educate their families on good eating habits to ensure the sustainability of our programs.
Our commitment to relieving hunger currently extends to 51 poor communities. More than 4,500 children receive a hot, well-balanced meal in our 40 school kitchens, and hundreds more receive nutritional support through supplementary programs. We also deliver foodstuffs for the daily meals of hundreds of orphans, children with disabilities, and elderly who are served by seven local urban charities.
When the COVID-19 pandemic left thousands of people in San Miguel de Allende on the brink of starvation, Feed the Hungry launched the biggest food relief effort ever conducted in the region. While our traditional focus is the welfare of children, we also help struggling families through special programs in communities that are still recovering.
Feed the Hungry San Miguel, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) U.S. non-profit corporation guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees, supported by a small, professional staff and a corps of exceptional volunteers. It raises funds and provides guidelines to its Mexican operating entity, Feed the Hungry A.C. Amistad Canada is our partner for donations from Canadian residents. Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
Welcome
For 35 years, Feed the Hungry San Miguel had been committed to improving the health and wellbeing of children in San Miguel de Allende. We do so through school meals, family nutrition education, and community development programs. Operating school kitchens in 36 mostly rural communities, nearly one million meals are served every year.
When schools in Mexico closed in March due to the COVD-19 pandemic, operations were expanded to provide food for entire families through the Feed the Families Emergency Response program. The program provides food and hygiene supplies to 20,000 people who are struggling during the pandemic. Packages designed to feed a family of five, two meals a day, for 14 days, contain healthy, shelf-stable food, as well as soap and bleach.
More than 95% of our operational funds come from charitable giving.
