The Peculiar Food Support Program

The Peculiar Food Support Program

Food is a basic human need, yet for many vulnerable families in Uganda, hunger is a daily struggle. Widows, orphans, the elderly, child-headed households, and families living in poverty often go without meals for days. In rural areas, food insecurity is worsened by droughts, floods, unemployment, or lack of farmland. In towns, the high cost of living pushes many families into despair.

The Peculiar Food Support Program, was birthed to fight hunger and restore dignity by providing food assistance to households in crisis. We believe that by feeding the hungry, we are not only meeting a physical need but also reflecting the compassion of Christ, who said, “I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat” (Matthew 25:35).

What We Do

The program provides both short-term relief and long-term support:

• Food Packages for Families: We distribute dry rations such as beans, maize flour, rice, sugar, salt, and cooking oil to households struggling to afford basic meals.
  Hot Meal Distribution: During outreaches, school visits, and community gatherings, we prepare and serve hot meals to children, widows, and families who would otherwise go without.
  Emergency Relief: In times of disaster — such as droughts, floods, or disease outbreaks — we deliver quick-response food aid to affected communities.
  School Feeding Support: In some schools where children attend without lunch, we assist with feeding programs to help students concentrate and improve their performance.
  Orphan and Widow Care: Our food support is closely tied to other programs such as orphanage care and widow empowerment, ensuring that the most vulnerable never go hungry.

Impact

The Peculiar Food Support Program has become a lifeline of hope for many. Families who were surviving on one meal a day or less now experience the joy of sitting down together to eat. Children who were fainting in class due to hunger regain their energy and focus. Widows who once struggled alone testify of God’s faithfulness when food arrives at their doorsteps.

This outreach does not only fill stomachs but also restores dignity. When families receive food, they feel valued, remembered, and loved — and for many, it opens their hearts to the Gospel message of Christ.

Partnerships & Volunteers

The program is sustained through donations from well-wishers, churches, and organizations who give financially or in-kind contributions such as maize flour, beans, rice, or cooking oil. Volunteers play a key role in packaging food parcels, delivering meals, and serving during community feeding events. Together, every contribution and every helping hand becomes part of a greater mission — to fight hunger with love.

Why It Matters

Hunger robs people of strength, dignity, and hope. By providing food support, we not only meet a pressing need but also plant seeds of faith and joy in struggling households. The Peculiar Food Support Program is a reminder that God cares for His people and that, through His love expressed in action, no child, widow, or family should be left to go hungry.
