The FFF began in 1998 on a fishing trip to Mexico when a fisherman noticed his surroundings during the drive from the resort to the fishing lake. Although Mexico was a poor country, what he saw was well beyond poverty. It was not an accepted practice for the “gringos” to communicate with the locals. It was thought, in fact, to be dangerous. This was unfounded, as the fisherman reached out to the community in need. FFF operates on donations from private contributors. FFF is much more effective than any other known charity. It pays no operating cost, no admin fees, and no pay roll. This allows 100% of the funds to go directly to the people in need.
Some general distribution items include:
FOOD
Beans, Rice, Flour, Sugar, Corn, Oil, Soups, Pasta, Cereal, Soap, Tooth Brushes,
Cookies & Candy (for the kids)
CLOTHES
Pants, Shirts, Sandals, and Hats.
MISC.
Educational Reading Materials, Blankets, etc.
FFF strives to make positive changes in rural, poverty stricken regions of Sinaloa, Mexico. Tri-annual distributions of food, clothing, and educational materials have become ritual. During the winter and holiday months, FFF refocuses on the needy cases in the US.
