We provide regular food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity, especially during periods of hardship and economic disruption. This includes:

  • Bulk meal preparation and distribution
  • Food item and grocery support
  • Emergency feeding during crisis situations
    Our goal is to ensure that no one goes hungry because of circumstances beyond their control.

During festive seasons, we carry out special outreach initiatives to share food supplies and basic necessities with people in need. These periods can be especially difficult for vulnerable households, and our seasonal programs are designed to:

  • Provide food relief
  • Restore dignity and joy
  • Offer emotional and moral support during significant cultural moments

In times of unexpected hardship — such as lockdowns, displacement, loss of income, or personal emergencies — STRAPFAM provides immediate assistance. This may include:

  • Emergency food support
  • Small financial assistance for urgent needs
  • Rapid response to community crises

We offer direct, compassionate support to individuals who may be distant or unable to physically access our distribution points. This includes:

  • Financial support for urgent personal needs
  • Support for vulnerable individuals within and outside our immediate community
  • Follow-up care to ensure short-term relief leads to stability

We engage community members and volunteers in acts of service, encouraging shared responsibility and dignity-centered outreach. This program:

  • Empowers beneficiaries to participate in solutions
  • Builds community ownership
  • Strengthens solidarity and mutual support

stories of change

Jackson seeking a second chance

Jackson experienced homelessness for years. He was a cocaine and alcohol addict off and on for over 20 years. Despite his struggles, Jackson never thought he would enroll in any of Caridad’s programs. For years, Jackson would come through our doors for a rare lunch or dinner. It was only when he started seeing people he knew from the streets get the help that they needed, that he was inspired to make a change in his own life.
“I wasn’t happy doing drugs and drinking. I was always miserable. That’s when I decided to come to the Caridad and enter the Fresh Start program.”
