About Us

The Least of These Ministries is a non-denominational Christian based organization located in Westminster MD.  This group is dedicated to carrying Christ’s message to the Haitian workers in the sugar cane, banana and plantain work camps within the Dominican Republic.  The primary purpose of this ministry is to provide one meal per week to each person living in the Barahona area bateys.  Our hope is to improve their health, strengthen their resolve and desire to help themselves.  Support is offered for both physical and spiritual needs of these people.

Quick Facts:

· Provides one meal  a week consisting of 1 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of beans to over 7,300 people in the Barahona area bateys

· In 2009 over 300,000 meals were given out. 

· Cost per meal is approximately 56 cents

· Least of These has no paid employees except for Dominican workers delivering the rice and beans

· Please Note:  Due to the tough economic times, we have been forced to reduce the number of feedings from once a week down to 3 times per month.  Once we can afford to give every week we will resume that schedule.  Please consider donating to The Least Of These Ministries so we can resume with weekly rice and beans distribution.
