Who We Serve
You are an immigrant, far from the land you once called home, now living in one of Brazil’s 2,600 favelas, a sprawling slum where life is a daily struggle.
Your shelter is pieced together with scraps, surrounded by the harsh realities of poverty: disease, poor sanitation, rampant crime, and the looming presence of gangs and drugs. Hunger gnaws at your stomach, but worse still, your children wide-eyed and innocent look to you with empty bellies and hopeful hearts. This morning, you gave them the last handful of rice. There is nothing left. You feel stuck. Forgotten. Alone. Then, something unexpected happens.
While your children are playing in the dusty alleyways, they meet a kind woman. She smiles warmly and asks to speak with you. When you meet her, she leans in quietly and says she has something for you, food. Not just a meal, but a bounty so generous you’ll need help to carry it. You’re stunned. How could this be? She hands you a small ticket and tells you to meet her the next morning.
You arrive, unsure of what to expect. But then, your arms are filled and overflowing with rice, beans, cornmeal, salt, sugar, oil, pasta, peas, coffee, flour, toiletries, even laundry detergent. Enough to feed your family for an entire month. Enough to breathe again. And then, she gives you something even more precious: hope. She shares the Word of God, telling you about the Giver of all good gifts the One who sees you, knows your pain, and loves you deeply. In that moment, surrounded by abundance and grace, you realize you are not forgotten. You are not alone.
This is exactly the story of one of one individual which was reached by this ministry in June of this year. We seek to reach the slums of Brazil with much needed food and the gospel of Jesus Christ for struggling families stuck in poverty.
For over 25 years We has been traveling annually to reach some of the 6% of Brazil's population that lives in a favela. In June 2022, through the funds and donations received as gifts, we were able to reach 480 people,120 families with enormous gifts of food that would last each family for one month. She was also able to distribute Bibles with each "Basket of Love". We have been able to reach hundreds of families over the past few years.
Our Mission
Baskets of Love is more than just a ministry. It’s a lifeline for families in Brazil who are struggling to put food on the table. We deliver baskets filled with essential groceries, but we also bring something deeper in the love of Jesus Christ and the hope that comes from knowing they are not alone.
Our mission is simple: feed the hungry, share hope, and reflect God's love in a real and tangible way.
Every donation, every prayer, every act of support makes a difference. You are helping us reach families who feel forgotten and remind them they are deeply loved.
Thank you for being part of this. You are changing lives.
