Life Basket, A NJ Nonprofit Corporation

05/07/2026

Between now and early August, we would have 9 Life Basket students back in school for the 2026-2027 school year. It has been a rewarding experience to be part of their journey and to see that we have a profound impact on their lives. Two of our scholars recently graduated and we believe we may have another two coming up. While it is our ardent desire to continue subsidizing the education of deserving individuals beyond this school term, this batch may be the last until further notice.

We will however continue to work with local partners to address the growing challenges.

Five years ago, we embarked on a mission of reaching out to those in need, of really MAKING A DIFFERENCE in their lives. It was rather overwhelming at first to imagine what a small organization like LIFE BASKET could possibly do considering the magnitude of poverty, hunger, sickness and homelessness that we saw all over. But persistence has its rewards. Today, as we announce the graduation of 2 of our scholars, we are reminded that while we may not change the whole world, we can surely change someone’s world.

For Sam Cruz and Fe Burgos, graduating from College will alter the trajectory of their lives . It will open up new doors and opportunities that were previously out of reach. Life Basket cannot be any prouder of the hard work and sacrifice they poured into this undertaking. Congratulations Sam and Fe. We pray for your success and we hope that this experience will incline you to also turn your gaze outward and be open to helping others.

The Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity was founded by St. Mother Teresa in 1950. In the Mabolo location, they provide shelter and food to the underprivileged, the poorest of the poor, abandoned children and the sick, the old and the dying and those with disabilities. It is here where you see the tangible expression of the church's preferential option for the poor. The nuns have no resources for this mission and they greatly rely on the gracious donations that they receive. LIFE BASKET considers it a great privilege to be part of the mission. We provide sacks of rice, cases of canned goods to feed the residents. We invite you our readers to join us in this mission.

Note: Due to privacy considerations and to preserve the dignity of the residents, posted pictures are limited.
