IRC Gives Food Away to Those in Need

Our day started at 6 a.m. with a trip to the fresh market in Tegucigalpa.  Poor people rarely receive fresh food.  Our teams were given Lempira and divided into groups to shop for specific foods (green vegetables, carrots, potatoes, onions, fruits, etc.).  Our Lowe’s buckets were perfect to provide protection to the fresh food and gave the people a bucket for carrying and collecting water.  150 families received food they did not expect as a result of this effort.  We ran out of food, dug through the bus, and found a few more bags of beans.  As a 10-year-old child was handed a bag of beans, she lit up like a kid at Christmas over a simple bag of beans.
