FEEDING THE AGED - The Nehemiah Team

Our Goal

Our overarching goal is to cultivate a compassionate and supportive community through our community feeding initiative, especially for the aged. By providing sustenance to vulnerable populations, including the elderly, young widows, and their children, we aim to not only address immediate hunger but also to instill hope and dignity in the lives of those we serve

What we’ve achieved.

It is easy to overlook the challenges faced by the aged people around us because we are fixated on the energy and achievements of youth. Simple tasks become mountains to climb for those grappling with age’s limitations. Getting food items feels like scaling a peak for many, burdened with physical ailments or health concerns. That’s why we count it a privilege to provide sustenance to countless aged people regularly, not just meals, but a lifeline of hope. Through our food distribution efforts, we not only fill stomachs but also hearts, sharing the message of love and faith with those we serve.

Our outreach extends beyond just the elderly. We also lend a helping hand to young widows and their children, offering them provisions to sustain them for a month and empowering them for a brighter future. Every meal shared is an opportunity to share the love of Christ. It’s a beautiful thing to witness hearts open and lives transformed by the message of hope. What begins as a simple act of feeding often blossoms into a deep relationship with God, not just for individuals but entire communities. Thank you for allowing your compassion to reach beyond yourself and touch the lives of those in need. Together, we’re nourishing not just bodies, but souls, one meal at a time.

Challenges

The team’s main problems throughout our feeding outreaches have been resource limits, which sometimes limit the project’s ability to properly reach its intended beneficiaries. These limits include securing appropriate financing to acquire food supplies, maintaining storage facilities, and covering operating expenses such as transportation charges, which is a big difficulty. Depending on external donations, whether monetary or in-kind, expose the effort to fluctuating support, which may not always correspond with the community’s rising needs.
