Our Story
Jamaica was the first country assisted by Food For The Poor (FFTP), which began helping the island nation in 1982. In 1983, FFP Jamaica was established and is the largest charity organization in Jamaica. The office and warehouse complex is located in Spanish Town, at the intersection of five highways, which lead to all parts of the island. FFTP partners with more than 1,300 churches and institutions for the distribution of food, medicine, educational supplies and other needed items. The charity has completed hundreds of projects in Jamaica with a focus on education, medical, housing and agriculture.
Our Mission
To link the
church of the First World with the church of the Third World in a manner that helps
both the mentally poor and poor in spirit.
The materially poor are served by local churches, clergy and lay leaders who have
been empowered and supplied with goods by Food For The Poor.
The poor in spirit are renewed by their relationship with and service to the poor
through our direct ministry of teaching, encouragement and prayer.
Ultimately, we seek to bring both benefactors and recipients to a closer union with
our Lord.
