We are in an uncertain and challenging time as the global pandemic Covid-19 continues to spread and impact our lives, families, and communities. We are all experiencing the severe impact on our businesses, jobs, resources, and the need for basic necessities is ever more urgent. This is a difficult time to ask for donations, but this pandemic has exposed how frail, broken, and unjust our systems are, in particular, our food systems. And this is the time to pool our resources together to deliver food to families who need it in marginalized communities. 

We are reaching out to the African and Ghanaian Community in the diaspora to support us (Adda Blooms) to donate 500 bags of rice, and 500 bottles of palm nut oil to 500 families in marginalized communities in Accra. We will be donating one bag of 5kg rice, and one bottle of palm nut oil (500ml) to each family.

We have partnered with a Ghanaian rice farmer, Janet Adade who will be supplying 500 bags of 5KG Ghanaian grown rice and with Seth Ofori Twumasi who will be supplying 500 bottles of 500ml palm nut oil. The urgent need for food and basic necessities continues to increase as more families become affected. We started this initiative by donating 30 bags of rice to a few families in Jamestown through the organization DUNK.

 We know this is a difficult time to ask people to donate as we are all in quarantine ourselves, as a small business owner myself, who seeks to work with farmers on the African continent to preserve our indigenous foods, I truly value the importance of building and supporting a sustainable food system that will enable our local farmers to feed our communities while sustaining all our livelihoods.

We urge and encourage you all to donate what you can. We will donate to cover up for the processing fee of GoFundMe.
