Food Security

It started informally when the community rallied to support families left without income due to the pandemic closures. The purchase of one loaf of bread has lead to a weekly senior luncheon and the establishment of a community Foodbank.

How we Help

Community Foodbank

With the support of the Olón Comuna, Spirit of Wellness operates a community Foodbank providing food staples, local produce and hygiene supplies to families suffering from food insecurity.

The Foodbank currently serves 30 families and an additional 30 individuals with food distributions every other week.

Weekly Senior Luncheon

Spirit of Wellness proudly contributes to the efforts of the residents of Olón who serve a free weekly senior lunch to the elders of the community.

The lunch provides a hot meal as well as a take-home meal to those most vulnerable to hunger and poor nutrition.

In October 2022, the lunch service celebrated its 10,000 meal!
