In Guatemala, a basic food bag, which can feed a family of four for a month costs approximately $115. The families GRACES serves make, on average, $328 per month for their total family income. With the cost of rent, healthcare, transportation, and other household expenses, you can imagine how the cost of food can weigh heavy on the families we serve.
This Christmas season, our goal is to raise enough funds to provide 30,000 meals for the students of Escuela Integrada. For the families we serve who are experiencing poverty, every single one of these meals matters.
We ask for your support to ensure that the students at Escuela Integrada are fed. We welcome you to be part of providing holistic education, of which food is a critical component.
We invite you to have a seat at the table.
GRACES Meal Support Program provides breakfast, lunch and food bags for the students of Escuela Integrada and their families.

Guatemala has the 2nd highest rate of moderate or severe food insecurity in Latin America.
The projected cost for GRACES’ Meal Support Program in 2027 is $90,000. One hundred percent of funds raised for this program will go directly to keeping the children fed.
Please consider partnering with GRACES to ensure that the students GRACES serves do not go hungry.
