Giving to the Antiguan Communities
Our operation in Guatemala is run by only a few volunteers, mainly families within the indigenous community in which we serve. Currently we are solely funded by myself, Dennis Kirkland, founder of Feeding Antigua, Inc.
Other operational duties for FeedingAntigua, Inc are managed by Dennis’ children in the USA. Any charitable donations to our organization are greatly needed and appreciated.
