What if you were suddenly faced with only having one meal a day?

During one feeding, in her childlike innocence, 8 year old Maria with a large bowl in her little hands, she asked me if she could have some extra food for her mother and brother, which that day they had none!

At 8 years old she was willing to give all that she had, to others.

I thought, “Why I couldn’t do the same!”

 

You probably understand the value of one.

You probably understand the value of one.

You know the difference that one person can make, one good employee, One terrific day of sales.

You probably also support the notion that many have in the non-profit world that if we could just help one person and truly change their lives, it would be worth it.

At Maria & Joseph's Ministry to the Poor, we haven’t just changed one life.  We’ve changed hundreds.  In the short time we’ve been in existence we’ve helped feed and cloth hundreds of children and gotten some, out of some pretty yucky situations and have improved their lives.

Our mission is to restore hope and dignity, and transform lives.  Our programs help develop children and family’s self-confidence and spiritual development which empower then to realize self-sufficiency and break the trap of living in poverty

We know the problems are real with every visit to the Philippines.  Maria & Joseph's Ministry to the Poor is trying to change that, one child, one family at a time.

But it takes a lot to provide this type of help to those families.>

It takes a lot of time and dedication to walk beside each family.  It takes relationships with other non-profit groups I the community.  It also takes a dedicated and passionate staff, and well-oiled, finely tuned office to keep everything well coordinated.

One of our expenses is filling and shipping needed food and supplies to the Philippines via a 40’ container, this project currently runs around $7,500.00. 

Sponsor your container today>.

This effort to fill and ship the most cost effective way to sent supplies, it’s a remarkably low price considering the magnitude of supplies we can fit into one container. 

Sponsor half a container or partner with others for the other half from business and generous individuals in the community.  We already have supplies donated from local schools, stores and the local community.

Your gift of $50, $100, $150 or more will help us meet our operation obligations so we can continue to provide much needed supplies to the children, and there families.  You can be the one that makes a difference.

Won’t you help us?
