A Community Kitchen for Around 100 Neighbors in Cartagena
Marylan, Doris, and three volunteers prepare lunch for Una Luz's children and meals for around 100 neighbors each day.
The people behind the meals
Marylan and Doris cook alongside three other volunteers at Una Luz. The kitchen prepares lunch for the children in our afternoon program and meals for around 100 neighbors each day.
It is work that takes planning, groceries, equipment, and people who keep showing up. We are grateful for this team and for everyone who helps them keep cooking.
Why the meal matters
Food is our biggest need. During our visit, parents told us how much it meant to know their children would have lunch when they could not afford it themselves. A dependable meal can ease one worry in a family's day.
Our kitchen also serves neighbors beyond the classroom. We want more people in Cartagena to have a meal they can count on. The team knows the community, and we want to give them the resources to welcome more families.
What it takes to grow
To cook for more people, we need more money for groceries, better equipment, and a larger space. Monthly giving helps us meet today's food costs and plan for those next steps.
Your gift supports the kitchen and the children's program together. It helps the team respond as food costs and needs change.
A monthly gift of US$10, US$40, US$100, or another amount helps keep this work going. We are looking for 100 monthly donors who will walk with the team as the classroom and kitchen grow.
Give monthly, or read more about how we use your gift. If you have a question, write to admin@unaluz.org.
