"No one has ever come here..."

Honoring Mother’s Day

Three years ago, we met them: the women of Veracruz, Mexico.

They were quiet, unseen, living in shacks by the railroad tracks.

"No one has ever come here and asked us what we needed," they wept.

And then it started:

Built by our university student teams, TC Energy, training from our California partners at the White Pony Express (WPE), the Rotary Clubs, the Mexican Businesswomen's Association, Mexican advisors, and volunteers from the local Veracruz community in partnership with the Food Bank:

Wings of Love

This food rescue program, based on the principle of shared abundance, goes where others have not reached: some of the most underserved communities in Mexico.

Now, it is spreading love in three cities across Mexico! Led by our university teams, it serves as a template for Latin America.

Today we honor WPE's Founder, who encouraged us to spread this model of loving service around the world, and Mother's Day, by honoring all these women and men who see all of us as part of one human family.

Join our Spring Campaign:

A $1,000 annual donation will provide much needed food and supplies as well as educational and business workshops on a monthly basis to enable these women move from the margins to the mainstream.
