Challenges & Faith
What has been one of the most challenging moments in this journey?
GNFK: The COVID-19 pan- demic was one of the most diffi- cult periods. Many community spaces closed, and people were isolated. Yet, the need for food increased drastically.

Today, GNFK serves over 2,500 people every week across:
