Community Food Drives
You can start changing our world for the better daily, no matter how small the action.

A SMALL ACT OF GENEROSITY CHANGES A LIFE FOREVER
Our mission is simple – help feed families as they intentionally grow spiritually.
The reality is there are a number of families who do not have enough food to properly break fast. We are here to help those families in need.
Our goal is to serve at least 100 families within the local community of Cameroon, Africa. With your help, we can achieve our goal!
- • Within a minimum of $25.00, we can feed a family of 7.
- • Each family will receive a 44.5 Grocery Bag with food to last at least 1 week.

Food Donation Accomplishments
June 2022 - Community Food Drive
The 44.5 Foundation joined our Douala-based beneficiaries during the 2022 celebration of the feast of the Ram (Eid-ul-Adha). As a hallmark of our continued assistance to families facing economic challenges, we organized a lump of meat giveaway to over 170 families who put meat on their table as part of their meal during this special holiday. We successfully distributed 1kg of fresh meat per family to 175 families, spread over two locations in the Bonabéri section of Douala, starting with senior citizens and continued with single mothers and fathers. We remain committed to supporting efforts that will improve the quality of life of our beneficiaries.
June 2022 - Community Food Drive
The 44.5 Foundation monthly food drive for the month of June was yet another emotion-filled event. The sharp rise in food prices has had a dramatic impact on many of our families who already barely scraped by with the little they have. We distributed to 60 families 5kg bags of rice, 1kg of spaghetti, and 1 liter of cooking oil each. We noticed a massive turnout of very elderly persons which is testimony to how tough these times are. The mothers thanked the 44.5 Foundation team for always coming through for the Bonaberi Douala community.
April 2022 - Community Food Drive
The 44.5 Foundation Cameroon chapter hosted a food drive for Douala Muslim faithful at the Bonaberi Al Haqqou masjido. We distributed to over 100 families 5kg bags of rice, 1l of cooking oil, 1kg of sugar, and 1kg of flour each. We have relentlessly worked to alleviate the economic burden caused on poor families due to rising inflation. As families gather to break bread at the end of each fasting day, 44.5 Foundation stands by them to honor their daily sacrifice.
