Holiday Food Drive 2014
Typography

The socawarriors.net community has once again been able to rise to the occasion and deliver food items to children in need. For our eighth annual Holiday Food Drive, we directed the proceeds to the Mothers’ Union Children’s Home in San Fernando.

Through the benevolence of our contributors we were able to ensure that the home’s residents had food on their tables during this time of year. We give a big thank you to all of those individuals and organizations who made this possible.

About Mothers' Union Children's Home (M.U.C.H.)

The Mothers' Union is an organization that campaigns and lobbies on National and International issues such as parental rights, child abuse and the protection of children. With these ideals in place and working with other NGOs and ecumenical groups, the Mothers' Union Children's Home was formally opened in 2001. For years the organization has strived to fulfill its objectives, to provide favourable conditions for stable family life and the protection of children, and to help those whose family life had been met with adversity.

To this day the Home has been a place of refuge for children who are victims of abuse and those who are temporarily displaced. The Home has provided a safe and nurturing environment for these disadvantaged children ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years, all of whom were referred to by the Social Services and Family Unit of the Ministry of Social and Community Development.
