Food for the Hungry

Xonca, Guatemala

VAC has partnered with Food for the Hungry since 2009. Food for the Hungry’s (FH) development model aims to work alongside churches in overcoming all forms of poverty. They seek holistic and sustainable change within vulnerable communities, and commits to a town until they are ready to graduate and can be self-sustaining. VAC has committed to the development of Xonca, Guatemala. For more information, check out FH’s website HERE.

Len Thiessen leads and organizes short-term missions trips to visit Xonca on a yearly basis to continue the relationships we have been building as a church. VAC also shows its support by child sponsorship and project funding. We’re aiming for graduation in 2020!
