In 1999, we started Every Dollar Feeds Kids^TM (EDFK) to provide meals to impoverished children in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Since its founding, EDFK has sent over $200,000 to Mexico and has recruited several partner churches. In fact, the response to EDFK has been so great that we recently incorporated EDFK as a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit to facilitate fund-raising with foundations and corporate matching programs.

Our partner in Mexico is Vamos! a volunteer organization that has grown to manage 81 different programs to feed, educate and empower the poorest of the poor.

Both EDFK and Vamos! operate on the principle embodied in our name: All fund-raising and administrative expenses are paid from the supporting Churches' outreach budgets, so that 100% of every dollar contributed goes to food. To learn more, visit the EDFK Website

In 2006, Patty Coleman, co-founder of Vamos! visited San Rafael for a joyous party and fund-raiser. Click here to see pictures from that event.

In July 2005, our then pastor, Rev. Julianne Stokstad, visited Cuernavaca and Vamos! to see EDFK in action. Click to read the sermon she preached on the experience, and click here to see lots more wonderful pictures of the kids that EDFK is helping.
