We are pleased to announce Hands of Love and Caye Caulker Soup Kitchen are working together to feed the less fortunate families of Caye Caulker.

A special thanks to the efforts of Andy Horton for kicking off the fundraising efforts during this Covidl9 crisis. Caye Caulker Soup Kitchen and Hands of Love each will receive one half of the PayPal donations.

Thanks to Bondi Bar and Lazy Lizard restaurants and many volunteers that immediately stepped up to begin serving meals, providing bags of groceries, and trying to make sure the island survives the drastic financial impact due to no tourism.

Hands of Love, spearheaded by James Lynskey, has provided Caye Caulker Soup Kitchen with a portion of donations received. Together both funds will be able to better serve Caye Caulker.

Caye Caulker Soup Kitchen plans to launch a GoFundMe later this week. We hope everyone that has visited, that lives here and even those that have friends and family here, will consider donating to both GoFundMe accounts, in kind contributions, volunteering and/or support.

Awesome team effort today getting out 306 meals!

It takes a village to feed a village, several volunteers and businesses have joined forces to serve meals to all those who are now without any income to provide a meal to themselves or their families. Being a tourist destination, Caye Caulker is feeling the economic effect of the global impact of Covid-19. Any assistance given to this feeding program would greatly be appreciated as the funds will be used to provide a meal to someone. We thank you in advance for any contribution made.
