Food for the Poor (FFP) Jamaica is this island’s leading charity organization whose main affiliate is Food for the Poor Inc. located in Florida, USA and whose president and C.E.O is Mr. Robin Mahfood. FFP Inc. is the largest international charity in the United States. It is an interdenomininational relief and development organisation which works in 17 countries in the Caribbean and Central America in order to assist the poorest of the poor.
FFP Jamaica has partnered with over 5,000 churches, plus NGO’s, private sector organizations, children’s homes and service organiz ations throughout the island. FFP’s method of helping the poor is simple. By asking the pastors and missionaries working with the poor: “What do you need?” FFP then supplies the requested items. In this way, it is assured that the goods are delivered to those who need them the most.
Our goal is to improve the health, economic, social and spiritual conditions of the men, women and children we serve through emergency relief aid and programmes in the areas of housing, food, medical, water, sanitation, education, agriculture, outreach and micro-enterprise.

Food for the Poor (FFP) works with the churches, schools, hospitals and other institutions that deal directly with the poor to fill their most urgent needs and to encourage self-sufficiency in those who would otherwise lose hope.
By actively sourcing gifts in kind and bulk purchasing on the world market, FFP is able to supply food, housing, medical supplies and pharmaceutical items, tools and machines of various kinds, school furniture and books, and countless other items worth nearly 300 per cent more than the donations we receive.
