Sent from home.

It starts in Medford, Massachusetts, with families, friends and our church family at EMCC in Port Charlotte, Florida. They pray, they give, and a team packs its bags.

Every gift travels with us across the Atlantic. Before the first visit, the team spends day one sorting the food into baskets, one family at a time.

Every February since 2023

We keep going back.

It started in 2013 with a group of volunteers who pay their own expenses and decided to put their purpose into action. These are the most recent trips.
