With grateful thanks for the numerous barrels and pails of dehydrated soup mix the Samaritan Foundation has received from the Ontario Christian Gleaners, not only will many hungry bellies receive a nourishing meal but 6 poor ladies have also received temporary employment. These ladies from the surrounding communities work 5 days a week on a morning or an afternoon shift breaking down the 100 portion bags into family sized portions of approximately 8 servings each. Rice and seasoning mix is also added to the mixture creating a one meal in each bag. Stephanie de la Rosa oversees the daily work and orders the supplies as needed.
Each day, 2 bags of rice @125 lbs each (250 lbs) and 1 large container of seasoning is used in packaging 1400 family sized meal portions which is the equivalent to more than 11,000 bowls of soup.
Where is this soup all going? Barrels of the finished product are being brought to local churches, orphanages, schools and ministry organizations that will distribute to needy families in their area or make pots of soup to feed the children.
This is truly a blessing to many, many families and needy individuals but we really need your help to support this program. It takes approximately $500.00 a week or $100.00 a day to cover the costs of the rice, seasoning and labor. With your help, prayers and financial support, think of how many meals can be provided and distributed because of your generous participation in this program.
