Soaring Nutrition & Food Insecurity Programs

Soaring’s Nutrition programming began at the Clinic as food provisions for families with a child diagnosed with malnutrition.  The program was expanded in 2020 as a result of the Pandemic and then Civil Unrest, both of which created higher food costs and less access. Last year, we added a Community Garden. Soaring now provides food kits regularly to many families and their children, as well as vulnerable elderly.  This includes corn meal, rice, beans, spaghetti, powdered milk, and cooking oil. Medical-grade peanut butter bar supplements manufactured in Haiti are also added in to fight malnutrition in kids and help pregnant women have more healthy pregnancies. The Community Garden has allowed us to supplement with fresh vegetables as well.
