Sunday was Father's Day in Guatemala, and we celebrated in the community of El Sauce with - what else? - a futbol grudge match between los viejos (the old guys, aka the dads) and los jovenes (the young whippersnappers). To (almost) everyone's delight, the old guys defeated the youngsters. The winners got a trophy and a new hat. The losers got a start reminder that Old Guys Rule.

We love celebrating with our communities, because "convivencia" is where life and friendships happen. And that's exactly who our community partners are: people we love!
Feliz Dia Del Padre!

Here's a quick update, with 45 days to go before our big move!

Here's a pretty amazing update: Between what has already been given and what has been pledged, we are nearly halfway to $60K! And we've got 48 days to raise the rest!

If 330 people give $100, we're there.
If all of our followers across our social media platforms give $30, we're there.
If you invite 1 friend to join you, and each of you gives $15, we're there.
Every time our story gets told, it makes a difference. And every amount given makes a difference.

T minus 49 days until we have to move out of the Outpost! There are a lot of moving parts, so while there is nothing definite to report right now, we DO feel as though we are making progress.

We're asking you, our community, to PRAY, GIVE, and CONNECT as we make preparations to find and move into our new space. The graphic gives you some more specifics on how you can be a part of this season of growth and change, as we prepare to feed more kids than ever starting in August!

Our 3rd new partner community in Guatemala is Santa Maria Julha in the Alta Verapaz Department. Last month we launched with 60 children enrolling into the Preschool Nutrition Program, in partnership with Iglesia Nueva Vida Jehova. Your generosity has made proper nutrition a new reality for these 60 children. It's life-changing. Thank you!

T-minus 55 days until we have to leave the Outpost! We have about 20% committed or donated, of our $60,000 goal to raise the extra rent needed for Year 1. Thank you! We thought we had a space, but it has not come through, so we’re still asking you to
PRAY for us to find our space.

CONNECT us with local business and community leaders that care about feeding our kids.

23% of kids in Central Texas don’t get enough to eat. That’s not ok. Our next location is going to equip us to feed even more of them, but we need you.

One of our non-negotiable is name brands. That may surprise you, but sometimes, labels matter. Our kids in the Feed Kids Right Now weekend food program are accustomed to getting the leftovers, hand-me-downs, and other items that people don’t want anymore. There isn’t anything wrong with leftovers and hand-me-downs. We love HEB brand everything.

But when it comes to our kids, we buy the name brands. Our kids need to know they are worth Kraft. They are worth Kellogg’s. We aren’t just filling their tummies. We are telling them that they are loved and valued. That they matter. These little micro investments, week after week, month after month, year after year, remind them that we see them and that they are important.

That is 100% worth a few extra cents every week.
