Feed a Child at NPH Today! Special Collection April 27-28

Feed a Child at NPH Today! Special Collection April 27-28

Since 2017, our Collaborative has been a part of the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) family, helping to transform the lives of vulnerable children throughout Latin America and the Caribbean through the generous support and sponsorship of our parishioners…

Each day, NPH provides nutritious meals and food baskets for 8,000 children and adults who might not otherwise eat. At every main home for children, NPH offers a sustainable farming option which helps harvest 15-30% of the food needed at that home. The remaining food needed must be purchased, which costs $2 million annually.

To continue helping in the vital work of NPH, our Collaborative will be taking up a special second collection at Masses on April 27- 28 to help fill a deficit gap in NPH’s food program…
