Food For the Poor Dollar-for-Dollar Orphan Match

Below: Baby Jefferson, who is 40 days old and weighs just 4 pounds due to starvation.

A generous donor has agreed to match every dollar you give to Food For the Poor's Orphan Program, up to $500,000.

A $35 donation magically turns into a $70 donation!

Please support FFTP, which is rated four stars by Charity Navigator.
97.7 cents of every dollar you donate goes directly to help the world's poorest people.
