Increased Holiday demand for ETCO
Today's children's feeding program saw a significant increase in the number of participants, primarily due to the onset of a two-month holiday break resulting in school closures. This surge in attendees has placed added pressure on ETCO, as the organization now needs to redouble its efforts to gather sufficient resources to meet the rising demand. It's worth noting that our program isn't limited to children; we also extend our support to the youth and elderly members of our community, embodying our commitment to ensuring no one goes hungry during these challenging times.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
