Food For The Poor to Host 27th Annual Celebration of Hope to Fund Hurricane-Resistant Homes in Haiti
Food For The Poor (FFTP), a major international relief and development organization based in the United States, is preparing for its 27th Annual Celebration of Hope. This event, themed “Foundations of Hope,” will take place on Saturday, November 21, from noon to 2 p.m. at Historic Dubsdread in Orlando. Chaired by FFTP Board Member Dr. Lynne Nasrallah, the brunch aims to raise funds for critical development projects in Patasson, Haiti. The primary goal is to construct 25 hurricane-resistant homes, provide solar power for a local school and community center, and supply 120 sets of desks and chairs for schoolchildren. This initiative is projected to benefit 264 residents, including 120 children, addressing urgent needs for secure housing, education, and reliable electricity in the community. The event builds on previous successes, including the 2024 gala which funded 25 homes and a community center, and last year's event which exceeded its goal by funding nearly 32 homes in Bondeau, Haiti.
