Hunger Relief Program by Philippe & Maricris Jacq

They say a single meal can’t change the world.

Maybe they’re right.

But a single meal can change someone’s world.

And when enough someones feel seen, fed, and loved? That’s how movements start. That’s how communities heal.

Last February 15, Philippe & Maricris Jacq chose to sponsor our Hunger Relief Program. They didn’t wait for the perfect moment or the grand gesture. They simply said, “Start now. Start here.”

And because they did, plates were filled. Spirits were lifted. Hope was served.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to Century Pacific Group for the corned beef, and to Eric Kayser.
