Collectively our dedicated staff, who are all volunteers, have been doing some form of charity work to benefit those most in need worldwide for several decades. There are too many hungry people in the world.  As we have evolved over the years we have come to concentrate our efforts primarily in southern California. Our base is in Los Angeles CA, where there are over 75,000 homeless people in the County alone. We try to provide as many meals to those unfortunate souls as possible. 

Our team of volunteers fan out in the city and give as much food assistance to those people living on the streets as possible. We hand out gift cards that can be redeemed for food, usually with relatively small amounts of value, such as $10-$25. We do not give cash because of safety issues, and cash is far too often used to buy drugs. The city of Los Angeles has spent billions of dollars trying to solve the homeless problem, but it is still growing. We try to do our share where we feel we can get positive results-by feeding one person-one-meal-one day at a time.

Africa is the poorest continent on earth and has the largest number of orphans. There are estimates of 52 million orphans on the continent and 3.5 million in South Africa. Our goal is to give a safe and meaningful life to as many orphans as we can. Our money, whether from donations or out-of-pocket, goes much farther in these poor regions. Food, shelter, school fees, and healthcare are our main points of focus.
