Christmas Holidays are a joyful time of year but very stressful for women in poverty. As our Makers try to provide for their children many of the basic staples are forgotten and homes will go without food. We try to help our Makers by providing a gift basket called a "canasta" for each of our Makers so they have the basics.
WIth a $25 dollar donation we can provide one gift basket per woman . These canastas will include the following items:
Maseca Flour, Chicken Consumme, Corn Flakes, Crackers, Large Bag of Beans, Cookies, Quaker Oats, Large Bag of Rice, Salt, Wheat Flour, Box of Whole Milk, Bag of Red Beans, Bag of Sugar, Tomato Paste, Spaghetti Pasta, Bow Tie Pasta, Box of Matches, Plastic Wrap, Plastic Bin to Hold Items.
These are basic items that are used every day by our Makers. We order these items wrapped up by a local store within walking distance to the slum our Makers live in, and the store owner takes a picture of each of our Makers when they come to pick up their basket to ensure delivery. This is all made possible with your generous donations.
