With high levels of voices shouting “Lower food prices” on people’s lips, especially the low-income families, such words dominated many people under the same housing. Some families showed evidence that many food items are too expensive to afford, products like rice, bread, cooking oil, and many others. This is two to three times more expensive than usual prices. These high prices amount to a lot of pressure on less privileged families, and they are calling upon the government to curb the ever-rising costs. We feel so happy to step in and help such crying families. As JFM, we believe this is why we exist, to provide a solution to the ongoing problem, to answer a question. When we see so many struggles, we provide free food to such vulnerable groups.
You can be part of this initiative with $60 to feed struggling families in Uganda. You can be part of putting smiles on people’s faces. How beautiful is that! So, why do these folks look so unhappy? Like anyone, people have pride in their homes, clothes, jobs, etc.; when these things are gone, it’s often hard to accept such favors as free food. We understand this, and we don’t judge. But, when we leave these sad faces, we often hear shouting and rejoicing as we drive away.

William J. Wegener (Bill) is the founder and director of JesusFedMe.com, a ministry with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the hungry, share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and transform lives in Uganda. Bill believes that meeting both physical and spiritual needs is the best way to reflect the love of GOD, and through JFM, countless lives have been touched.
Under his leadership, JesusFedMe.com has:
Delivered food daily to poor families and orphans. | Dug wells to provide clean water to villages. | Built homes and resource centers for struggling communities. |. Established the Miracle Medical Center (MMC) in Nakaseke District, providing medical care where none was available. |. Launched the CVTI Skilling Center, offering vocational training and hope for the future.
Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
