Locally led. The last pot to boil. The last door to shut. A U.S. nonprofit (2024) focused on food, farming & survival in Gaza.

🍲 Gaza Soup Kitchen: Feeding 10,000 People Daily

As famine tightens its grip and markets collapse, Gaza Soup Kitchen is still boiling pots—feeding 1,000 people every day with dignity and determination.

We were the first soup kitchen in North Gaza to lean on local farmers and forage from nature to keep people alive. When others paused, we adapted. When supplies ran out, we improvised.

Today, we operate across 11 kitchens, run a community clinic, and deliver clean water and hot meals to hospitals—even in the hardest-hit zones.

This is survival work, done by people living through the very crisis they’re responding to.

Support the last pots still cooking.

The Guatemalan-Maya Center Inc is a nonprofit organization focused on human and civil rights and advocacy.

Our story begins with **Father Frank O'Loughlin**, our Executive Director, whose unwavering dedication to migrant workers spans over 50 years of advocacy and service.

​Father Frank’s journey with the Mayan people began in the early 1980s, when he served as a parish priest in Indiantown, Florida. During this time, he encountered Mayan migrant workers who were not just laborers, but refugees escaping the horrors of the Guatemalan genocide, seeking sanctuary and a new life.

​Before this, in the 1970s, Father Frank was deeply involved in the farmworker movement alongside Cesar Chavez. Inspired by Chavez’s tireless fight for justice, Father Frank worked in solidarity with the United Farm Workers, advocating for fair wages and better conditions for migrant workers. This experience strengthened his lifelong commitment to standing with marginalized communities and fighting for their rights.

In 1992, this powerful connection led to the founding of the Guatemalan-Maya Center. Our mission was clear from the start: to assist, advocate for, and provide services to Maya refugees and others in need, focusing on areas such as education, health, immigration, cultural continuity, and family preservation. We honor and support the Maya culture as we embrace the new environments in which we all live, empowering families to thrive in their new homes.

​Our work has always been rooted in advocacy for the inalienable rights that belong to every human being. We stand for the belief that the Maya, like all people, have the right to spiritually live in peace and dignity.

​What began with a commitment to providing prenatal care for indigenous women in Palm Beach County has grown into a network of support for an ever-evolving community. Over the years, our programs have expanded, addressing the emerging needs of over 1,000 families every month, representing more than 28 countries. With a deep focus on family, we continue to create a place of support, empowerment, and hope, grounded in compassion, solidarity, and a shared commitment to justice for all.

Msomi Academy partners with Kenyans to educate children so they can improve their lives and the lives of their communities. 

Our mission is to partner with communities to build educational experiences that improve quality of life, empower leaders, foster collaborative relationships, and encourage reciprocal learning. Benya Msomi Academy in Kisii, Kenya, provides a safe haven for primary school children (ages 4-14) who are orphaned and/or have dangerous situations at home through boarding facilities that are not generally offered at the primary school level. The approximately 400 students who attend Benya Msomi Academy get a lunch meal every day (not offered at every school) and the young ones are now receiving breakfast as well. Msomi is also working with a Maasai community in the Kajiado area to dig a well so that the women and girls no longer have to walk 20 miles round trip every day to fetch water. This will save them significant time and allow them to engage in on-site education so they can work to improve their community's quality of life.

With 2,000+ members, a network of 47 community gardens, planting food and practicing resilience for our collective future. 

Founded in 1998, the **Los Angeles Community Garden Council (LACGC)** was established to create safe, green spaces in underserved urban neighborhoods. Over the past two decades, LACGC has transformed vacant lots into thriving community gardens, fostering food security, social connections, and environmental stewardship. Today, LACGC oversees a decentralized **network of 47 community gardens** with more than 2,000 members serving about 6,000 people across Los Angeles County.

In 2024, with a new executive director, LACGC shifted from a "hub-and-spoke" model to a **decentralized, peer-to-peer network**, where gardens function as "living laboratories." Each garden is in many ways an experimental space for testing different approaches to self-governance, food production, and community resilience. This new model allows for greater innovation and flexibility while maintaining a collective framework for learning and resource-sharing across the network.

**Living Laboratories: Gardens as Experimental Hubs**

Each garden operates as a **living laboratory**, experimenting with governance models, sustainability practices, and community-driven solutions. Some gardens prioritize food production, while others focus on becoming resiliency hubs with initiatives like **cool zones** to mitigate heat or water capture systems for sustainability. This decentralized framework empowers gardens to address the unique needs of their communities while contributing to larger, systemic goals like climate resilience and social equity.

LA Community Garden Council - General Support

Provides access to fresh produce from local farms and nutrition education to food-insecure people living in and around Ithaca, NY.

**Food & Health Equity** 

Since 2006, Healthy Food For All (HFFA) has been making fresh, quality produce accessible to low-income households and promoting the viability of local farms through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).

HFFA provides sustenance and stability for over **1,500 youth and adults** struggling with hunger while fairly compensating local farmers producing the diversity of fruits and vegetables that provide a cornerstone to good health. 

**Farm Viability** 

By investing over **$200,000** annually in local organic farms, HFFA is helping to keep small diversified farms in business, in-turn increasing our community's capacity to sustainably grow healthy food for everyone. The whole community benefits from local abundance, farm resiliency and food security. And, as our farms grow more, they share more—in 2021, HFFA farms provided over 150,000 pounds of fresh fruits and veggies at half price for low-income community members, and donated an additional 30,000 pounds valued at over $55,000 for neighbors in need.

**Environmental Sustainability**

HFFA’s farms use organic, biodynamic and regenerative practices. These techniques support soil health, protect and improve water quality, help draw down greenhouse gases and restore ecosystems while nurturing fertility and fortifying the harvest—even as pests and extreme weather conditions intensify. HFFA farms are working on our behalf to **combat climate change,** **feed our community and heal our planet.**
