Westbow Partner Video
Dick Westeringh established Westbow Construction in 1977 in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Dick’s team is not only a group of quality home builders but they are a team of caring professionals. That’s why it’s part of Westbow’s vision to give back to people less fortunate then ourselves. So what is the Westbow vision for giving back? Westbow Construction Group Ltd. has been partnering with Hungry for Life to touch the lives of the people of Haiti, the most impoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere. Their team has also partnered with Haiti Free School Project and is donating $500 from homes sold to the project. Every $500 sponsors a child’s education for a year!

Charlotte - Who's Who - HFL Staff
Charlotte joined our team this past January and has meshed with the team so quickly! She's been an incredible help and addition to Hungry For Life. As Executive Administrator, Charlotte uses her administrative skills to provide assistance to the Executive team, enabling and supporting them to do their roles with higher efficiency and ease. We are grateful for her gifts and are excited to have her on staff!

Something a lot of people seem to not know is that only half of our ministry/work is overseas. Maybe even less! We currently have 25 Canadian partners and we want to showcase the amazing people they are and the work that they do! The first one we want to highlight is Camp Qwanoes (specifically the Kaléo program). Qwanoes is a youth-focused high adventure Christian camp that exists to love kids to life like no other, helping them discover, live and share life like no other in Christ. Founded in 1966, Qwanoes is an ideal place for fun-filled, life-changing experiences. In partnership with AMG Guatemala the Kaléo Program offers an opportunity for the students to serve during a mission trip to Guatemala facilitated by Hungry For Life. Their most recent trip was this February for two weeks. If you want to learn more and watch the entire video about Qwanoes and the Kaléo program, go to our website at www.hungryforlife.org/partners/kaleo-camp-qwanoes

With Them - Release Promo
Hungry For Life's documentary, With Them, has just been released! You can now watch it online via our website. Just visit www.hungryforlife.org/with-them Thank you for all your support for the people of Ukraine as well as for Hungry For Life as we work there. Why risk? Why go? With Them is a documentary that follows Hungry For Life's emergency relief efforts during two years of war, efforts made possible by a 20 year relationship built with our friends and partners in Ukraine. With Them is filled with stories of sorrow and hope, and we hope that you walk away realizing that sometimes just being with someone is enough. You never know where God will take you when you follow his lead. He could lead you to Ukraine, visiting widows in craters that were their homes, or he could lead you next door, to someone who has been hurting for a long time due to any kind of life struggle. Just remember that being 'with them' is never too little.
