We’ve been working hard to raise money to help feed the jobless, elderly, disabled and families (and their fur babies) of Olón Ecuador and nearby comunas.
Due to the crash of tourism and the quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many as 90% of the people in this area are unemployed with little to no help from the government. No unemployment checks. No food stamps. No soup kitchens. Without daily income, they can’t afford to buy food so many are going hungry for days at a time.
Thanks to all of your donations, our volunteers have been able to provide food packages to several thousand people who are most in need! To learn more about this project and to see where your donations are going, click the button below.
