Food For The Poor Office and Warehouse

Twenty-one years ago, Food For The Poor first opened it’s doors to minister to the poor of Jamaica. Over the years, it has grown to meet the mounting needs of the people of Jamaica as they struggle to survive in an increasingly desolate economy.

The facility is ideally located on a highway that connects to roads leading all across the island. It is composed of two 40,000 sq. ft. warehouses that contain the offices, the food warehouse and the distribution warehouse including 140 20 ft. containers.

Food For The Poor – Jamaica employs 65 staff members, 100 building contractors, and up to 100 other workers. These dedicated employees are responsible for the distribution of food, medical supplies, school supplies, and furnishings throughout the country; for building houses for the destitute; and for implementing life changing projects.

They partner with over 5,000 churches of all Christian denominations, schools, orphanages and service organizations throughout the island to meet the needs of the poorest of the poor. Needed items are either delivered to various distribution sites or the organizations will come directly to Food For The Poor to pick up their supplies.
