Programs

Children’s Feeding

Ciudad Refugio in partnership with High5Give5 operates feeding programs providing nutritional meals and educational activities to more than 400 children weekly in 4 Colombian communities. 

Our goal through the feeding programs is to feed hungry kids while introducing them to God and church in fun and creative ways. 

Communities participating in the Ciudad Refugio feeding program are selected for their high level of vulnerability as well as their involvement with other Ciudad Refugio programs and missions projects.
