Garage Sale on the 28th and 29th of February, 2020

Garage Sale on the 28th and 29th of February, 2020 to benefit Poco a Poco's FoodShare program.



We are busy gathering items for this Garage Sale event on 28th and 29th February, to benefit Poco a Poco's FoodShare program, but as we have some wonderful items for sale, we hope you will also be able to visit the sale on one of those days, to pick up some bargains!

The FoodShare Program is currently providing monthly dispensas (of food and staples) to 55 families in dire need in San Pedro Itzican, as well as to 49 patients suffering renal failure problems.  The program also funds and supports the kitchen which provides the after-school meal program that provides food to between 30 and 45 hungry children each school day.

This means we have to raise funds to keep us going through the summer months as these services are being provided for people in desperate need, with no other help available. 

All the families involved with our FoodShare programs have to contribute back to the community, by assisting with local clean up projects, such as garbage collection and removal and keeping the main Brigada office and kitchen clean and tidy.  We also encourage them to take part in any of the programs that Poco a Poco provides in San Pedro (jewelry, knitting, sewing or hairdressing classes, work on the development of a vivero to grow nutritious foods, learn to bake, or join the literacy program or ESL classes), as well as attend workshops that are provided by different groups on site.

So we do hope to see you on 28th or 29th February 2020! - 153 Calle Manglar in Villa Nova, West Ajijic.
