The Need

Families in Cuba are facing a serious food crisis.

The need is urgent and real. Harpeth Christian Church is partnering with IDES — International Disaster Emergency Service — to pack and ship 260,000 meal packages directly to communities in Matanzas, Cuba and the surrounding region.

On the Ground

Received by a trusted minister in Matanzas.

Tony Fernandez is a long-time, well-respected minister who has served God and the people of Cuba for years. He is fully aligned with the beliefs of Harpeth Christian Church.

Tony will personally oversee the distribution of meals to families in need across Matanzas and surrounding communities — and will share with other aligned ministers who will bless their own communities with these provisions.
