Humanitarian--Riga, Latvia---Freezer, Refrigerator, and Shelves

Samaritan Food Distribution collects food from local grocery stores, such as Rimi and Maxima. 

During the holiday season there are boxes in which people may donate non-perishable food items. The Latvian people have been very generous this year.

There is also another collection during Easter time. 


These items then are taken to a warehouse and sorted by volunteers. 

The food is distributed all over the country to those in need. They also distribute to Elderly Homes, Disabled Homes, and Children's Homes.

Samaritan has 2 vans that go out 3 times a week to various locations.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated 2 large shelving units, 1 Freezer, and 1 Refrigerator. 

Samaritan hopes to use the Refrigerator and Freezer for milk and meat products. 


The warehouse is already using the shelves for purchased food from donors.
