The Gospel and Foodfor the Lost and the Hungry

Rice

Delivered 100 lbs at a time and split by family size. Rice is a treat, usually too expensive to keep in the house.

Local beans

Uganda grows a surplus and exports it, which does not mean a struggling household can buy any.

Watermelon

Grown locally, and one of the few things in the gift box a child will eat on the spot.

Sugar

Plain, no additives. A household staple that is quietly unaffordable.

Sweets for the children

Every home visited has children in it, usually about five, and the sweets are picked with them in mind.

Adult BibleScripture

In English or in Luganda, whichever the household actually reads.

Children's BibleScripture

One per family.

Gospel tractsScripture

Written and printed locally because Bibles are expensive and a village is larger than two Bibles.

MattressesCare

Given out often, to families who have been sleeping on the bare floor.

A cash noteCare

Usually 20,000 UGX, left with the family for what the gift box does not cover.
