A food shipment of 1024 boxes of dried vegetable mix was sent from Ontario Christian Gleaners to support communities in Jamaica, helping strengthen food security and expand access to nutritious meals for vulnerable families.

Additionally, a shipment of football gear was sent which will be provided to Jamaican youth to encourage physical activity, teamwork, and positive community engagement while supporting the development of young athletes.

In the second photo, a donation of 1100 boxes and 16 drums of vegetable mix, Mitchell’s soup and barley was sent to Haiti to help strengthen food assistance programs and improve access to nutritious meals for vulnerable families and communities.

The maternity ward at Mahaicony Cottage Hospital in Guyana has been upgraded with new equipment and facility improvements to better support mothers, newborns, and healthcare workers.

With delivery beds, a neonatal cot, an autoclave, and other essential upgrades now in place, the ward has already recorded 10 safe deliveries since reopening.

This project is helping improve maternal healthcare access, strengthen community trust in local services, and ensure women in rural communities can give birth safely and with dignity.

No student should have to choose between their education and their next meal.

Food insecurity is a daily reality for many university students in Jamaica—but initiatives like the GK Campus Connect Food Bank are making a difference.

With support from the GraceKennedy Foundation and FFTP Canada, 200 students receive monthly food assistance—including 60 students directly supported by FFTP Canada—helping them stay nourished, focused, and on track to succeed.

Together, we can build a future where every student has access to the nutrition they need to thrive.

Through the Professional Driving School in Honduras, students like Jhonny, are gaining the skills needed to enter industries like transportation and logistics.

With support from our donors, 10 students received scholarships covering transportation and meals—removing barriers that often prevent people living in poverty from accessing technical education.

After completing theoretical classes, driving simulations, and 240 hours of hands-on truck driving, many graduates are now on track to secure employment as professional drivers.

Together, we are promoting road safety, creating jobs, and building stronger, more sustainable communities.

Supporting bee farmers is essential to the rebuilding efforts in Jamaica post-Hurricane Melissa. Bees provide income and stability to business and families, while also supporting the pollination needed to restore local agriculture and food systems. Your support means bringing renewed hope to Jamaicans affected by the storm.

Education isn’t a privilege, it’s a fundamental right at every age. On this International Day of Education, let’s remember that accessible education means breaking the cycle of poverty, distance, discrimination, and exclusion—whether you’re 5 or 51. When we ensure every person can learn, we unlock solutions to nearly every challenge we face. Your support for education empowers us to provide scholarships for primary school children, support literacy training for adult women in Guyana, and upgrade essential infrastructure like running water, sanitation, and playgrounds for schools. Every child, every adult, every community deserves the chance to learn and grow.
