It’s hard to explain what keeps drawing me back to Caletón.

Maybe it’s the mountains that surround the community.

Maybe it’s the way neighbours come together to share life, encourage one another, and gather around a simple meal.

These photos capture a day in Caletón - from carrying supplies along dusty roads, to cooking over a wood fire, to sharing food, conversation, faith, and friendship.

When I look at these photos, I don’t just see a soup kitchen. I see a community that continues to care for one another, even in difficult circumstances.

Just a glimpse into the life of a community filled with people who have become like family to me. ❤️

Before the food begins its journey to Caletón, it first arrives in Santiago de Cuba where Pastor Luis and Pastora Norbelis receive, sort, and prepare everything for transport.

Looking at these supplies spread across the floor during another blackout, I’m reminded that ministry often happens in ordinary moments - packing food, carrying heavy loads, sharing meals, and caring for neighbours.❤️

This week’s purchase was made possible by my husband and daughters, whose generosity will help provide food to families and support the ongoing soup kitchen ministry in Caletón.

Thank you for walking alongside the people of Caletón through your prayers and encouragement. ❤️

Before the children arrived, the fire was already burning.

In rural Caletón, preparations for Saturday’s community meal often begins outdoors, with large pots over wood fires and volunteers working together to prepare what they have.

This week there was bean soup, homemade bread, a cup of milk, and a small treat for the children.

Simple things.

Yet these Saturdays have become something many families look forward to - not only for the food, but for the chance to gather, visit, laugh, and spend time together.

A glimpse of everyday life in rural Cuba. 🇨🇺

Voices of Gratitude from Caletón

This young boy from Caletón wanted to send a message after receiving food from the Saturday community kitchen.

His words are simple, but they touched my heart.

Over the years, what began as a trip to Cuba became friendships, and those friendships became family.

Thank you for following this journey and for caring about the people of Caletón.

Yesterday was soup kitchen day in Caletón.

I’ll be honest - my heart is heavy.

The food that my husband, daughters and I helped purchase is still on its way and did not arrive in time for yesterday’s meal.

The pastors and volunteers gathered what they could and prepared bean soup, homemade bread with little more than flour and water, and juice crystals for refreshments.

As I watched the photos and videos come in, I saw children giving thanks for their meal.

I saw smiles.

I saw gratitude.

I saw people sharing what little they had with one another.

And yet I also know the reality behind these images.

The pastors and volunteers continue to give sacrificially to make sure others can eat. Attendance at the soup kitchens has grown significantly in recent months, and what began as a simple act of love is becoming more than my family alone can sustain.

For more than three years, I have watched this community care for one another through shortages, blackouts, uncertainty, and hardship. Their faith, resilience, and generosity continue to humble me.

These photos are not meant to show what is lacking. They are meant to show the incredible spirit of a community that refuses to stop sharing even when resources are limited.

A simple meal. A shared table. A reminder that no one has been forgotten.🤍

Over the past several months, we’ve seen more and more families coming to the church’s weekly soup kitchen in Caléton, as the cost of food continues to rise beyond what many families can afford across Cuba.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3rd, I will be placing a food order for Saturday’s meal so it can arrive in time for the weekend.

If you’re able to and would like to help make this week’s meal possible, I would be so grateful.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps provide food for the families, seniors, and children in this rural community.
