==History==
In 1982, Ferdinand Mahfood began Food For The Poor to aid the poor and downtrodden in Latin America and the Caribbean. Clergy members of many Christian denominations, including Episcopalian, Lutheran and Roman Catholic, provide the core of the organization, preaching and personally distributing necessary items in the poor countries, while going abroad to seek more donations. Members of the laity are also heavily involved, providing aid and resources both alongside clergy and in places where there are few or no clergy members.
Since 1982, Food For The Poor has distributed approximately $9 billion worth of food, medicine, housing materials,water and other aid to the poor of the Caribbean and Latin America.〔''(History )'', Food For The Poor website.

Currently, FFP employs more than 300 people out of its Coconut Creek location, in addition to employing numerous members of the Clergy as speakers across the United States.〔''(New Headquarters )''.
