Cozu-Meals

A group of volunteers is operating a soup kitchen to help feed over 149 families, with a promedy of 4 members so, about 600 people per day. during the shut-down. It doesn’t take much to help. The soup kitchen has a network of volunteers who are delivering meals on their scooters to families so they can avoid crowds. They are prioritizing families with high at-risk members under quarantine. If you’ve ever enjoyed the generous and friendly people of Cozumel, please consider making a donation to help them in their time of need. Some basic pantry items are being included now as well, such as baby-formula when a meal cooked by the volunteers just can’t meet particular needs.

This is just one kitchen in a network of 6 – each of whom sponsor about the same amount of families. They’re accepting any donations, especially formula and baby needs.

Autumn’s Pozole Thursdays

In the neighborhood Fraccionamiento Caribe, we’ve organized Pozole Thursdays at Antojitos del Caribe, a neighborhood food truck run by a very sweet woman from Puebla. Fresh pozole makes everyone feel better! This effort helps feed families and gives work to the chef working the food truck, plus 1 helper.
There are a couple of ways to donate and sponsor a Pozole Thursday. Either via paypal or by delivering cash to Autumn Toñita, the organizer, in fraccionamiento Caribe.
