Emergency Food Relief
KIND’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief (EFR) Initiative began in April 2020, when dozens of clients reached out for urgent food support. Most of KIND’s beneficiaries work in sectors hit hardest by the pandemic, such as bars, restaurants, fast-food outlets, casinos, and beauty salons resulting in widespread job loss and reduced income.
In response, KIND rapidly evolved into a full-scale distribution unit. Today, we continue to provide essential support including food, clothing, school supplies, digital devices, and second-hand toys to families and communities across Trinidad and Tobago.
Hamper Distribution
Our food hampers typically include at least 22 essential items such as rice, flour, sugar, oil, peas, milk, oats, and canned meats like corned beef, sausages, and tuna. We also include personal care items, toiletries, household cleaners, snacks, and other necessities to support families in need.
As of December 2021, we have distributed 9,236 food hampers and care packages, reaching 42,961 beneficiaries across Trinidad.
While our base is in Morvant/Laventille and East Port of Spain, our reach extends far beyond. We support families from Chaguaramas to Sangre Grande, and as far south and remote as Rio Claro, Moruga, Cedros, and La Brea.
