A Plate For All

OUR MISSION is to deliver much-needed food aid directly to Iraqi refugees living in Syria. OUR VISION is to reduce the hunger and malnutrition of displaced peoples around the world. We believe that by reducing the hunger of refugees we greatly reduce their daily suffering, promote regional and international stability, and support healthy bodies, minds, and spirits. We do careful analysis within refugee communities to identify gaps in food provision, and then we work to fill those gaps, keeping the nutritional needs of the most vulnerable at the forefront. This includes: children, pregnant or nursing mothers, widows, destitute families, the unaccompanied elderly, and the sick or disabled. OUR SERVICES include a community food distribution program, located in an area with a high concentration of Iraqi refugees in Syria. We distribute simple, nutritional, food packages, free of charge to those who demonstrate need. Our food packages address nutritional gaps in Iraqi refugees' diets, and are available to all regardless of status or affiliation. A Plate for All purchases and prepares all food locally. A Plate for All's vision within this program is to develop connections within the community in order to better understand its needs and work with the population to address them. We plan to expand services to include both an information sharing component and a nutrition education component. Our contacts within the community will be used to refer refugees to other services available to them, such as healthcare, education, vocational skills classes, and UN services.
