A long line of people in need gladly waited to receive basic supplies in Colonia Modelo this week.
Border Partners staff provided assistance in Colonia Modelo on Monday this week. A distribution of basic food supplies in 50 food baskets helped the community; we were happy to carry out that three hour operation. In addition to food, we also provided warm clothing, shoes and blankets that we’d received as donations.
Colonia Modelo’s elementary school director, Profesor Manuel, identified families in need. With his help, each family received a voucher to present at the event.
Seven Border Partners staff members gave good reviews to the event organization and its execution. The program helped us to acquire some basic information from each of the families. In this way, we met some new recipients in the community who will benefit from future food basket events. Other Border Partners staffers remained in Palomas to continue regular programming.

Clothing that was donated was distributed for those in need.

At Your Service! Border Partners staff executed the distribution operations and thought it went very well.

Supplies were well organized to speed the operation. Keeping people moving quickly through the process is important in these days as we deal with the pandemic.
