Our mission
Raised here. Given free. Everyone fed — children first.
We put real, nutrient-rich food raised in Puerto Rico — pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef, ground from the whole animal — on the tables of the island's hungry — every family in need, with the children at the table first in mind — through the churches that already know them by name. As an act of Christian faith, with open books — and every gift and every delivery recorded on a public blockchain ledger. 100% of every donation goes to food; every dollar counts, and every gift, of any size, is appreciated.
of every gift goes to food for hungry children and families in Puerto Rico. $20 puts one weekly delivery — a pound of grass-fed, whole-animal ground beef and a dozen pasture-raised eggs — on a family's table.
Why pasture eggs and grass-fed beef
Protein is what a growing child needs most — and what a tight budget cuts first.
fewer stunted children when toddlers ate one egg a day for six months — a randomized trial in Ecuador (Pediatrics, 2017). Underweight fell 74%.
Our weekly delivery per family: a pound of grass-fed ground beef and a dozen pasture-raised eggs — a meaningful share of a household's weekly protein, and enough to change a child's plate.
Pasture-raised.
The beef is grass-fed on island pasture and ground from the whole animal — every cut, not just trimmings — for the best quality and the fullest nutrition a pound of beef can carry. The eggs come from hens raised on pasture. A hungry child deserves the best food we can raise.
How it works
Pasture to table in three steps. Every step on the record.
Raised on the island
Grass-fed cattle and laying hens raised on Puerto Rican pasture — pasture-raised eggs, and grass-fed beef ground from the whole animal at an inspected plant.
Handed over by neighbors
Churches enroll families by need, keep it cold, and give it away free — no fees, no conditions, no religious test.
One pound. One dozen. Every week.
Churches report monthly; we reconcile pounds in against pounds out and write every delivery to a public blockchain ledger.

No goods or services are provided in exchange for your gift.

On the chain, in the open.
Every donation, every pound and dozen received from the farm, and every delivery a partner church reports is written to a public blockchain ledger with a timestamp — so a donor can follow a dollar from the gift to a family's table without having to take our word for it. Recipients are never named; donors are named only if they choose to be. The ledger link and a plain-language guide will be posted here with the first entries.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes — the Foundation is built so that every gift is deductible three ways, and each letter will be posted here the day it issues.
- United States. Organized exclusively for charitable and religious purposes; applying to the IRS for recognition under § 501(c)(3). Recognition of an application filed within 27 months of incorporation is retroactive to the date of incorporation, so gifts made now are covered when the determination letter issues.
- Puerto Rico. Applying to Hacienda for certification under § 1101.01(a)(2) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code; gifts to a certified entity are deductible on the Puerto Rico return under § 1033.15(a)(3), up to 50% of adjusted gross income.
- Act 60. Organized to qualify as a recipient of the $10,000 annual charitable contribution required of Individual Resident Investor decree holders (Act 60-2019, § 2023.01) — a Puerto Rico nonprofit certified under § 1101.01 and not controlled by the donor or the donor’s family — and, because its work plan addresses child hunger, applying for the CECFL child-poverty list, so gifts can satisfy the $5,000 that must go to listed entities as well as the balance.
Ask your tax adviser how the deduction applies to your return.
Does 100% of my gift really go to food?
Yes. Every dollar donated to the Foundation buys grass-fed, whole-animal ground beef and pasture-raised eggs and gets them to a family's table — the cold-chain packaging and delivery that food requires. The Foundation's operating costs — payment processing, administration, the ledger — are covered separately, by its founders and by gifts designated for operations, never from public donations. The annual financial statements posted here will show it, line by line.
Who gets the food?
Families in need, enrolled by a partner church under written criteria — participation in PAN is the simplest proof, documented hardship also counts. Households with children come first, and no one in need is turned away. No one is asked to attend a service or profess a faith. Names are never published.
What exactly goes on the blockchain?
Three kinds of entries: each gift (amount, date, and an anonymous donor code unless you ask to be named); each receipt of product from the farm (pounds, dozens, date, price paid); and each partner church's monthly distribution report (households served, pounds and dozens delivered). Never a recipient's name or address, and no card or bank details. Anyone can read the ledger; no one can quietly change it.
Why pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed, whole-animal beef?
Because the families we serve deserve the best food we can raise, not the cheapest we can buy. Our eggs come from hens raised on pasture. Our beef is grass-fed on island pasture and ground from the whole animal — every cut, not just trimmings — for the best quality and the fullest nutrition a pound of ground beef can carry. Both are raised here in Puerto Rico and processed at an inspected plant.
Can my church become a partner?
Yes. Sign a short distribution agreement, enroll families by need, keep the food cold, give it away free, keep a weekly log, report monthly. We supply the food, the forms and the training — and we'll come visit.
