Working Together to End Hunger in the Caribbean
30 IN 30
Campaign
As we embark on an ambitious new chapter in 2025, Feeding Caribbean is proud to introduce 30IN30 (30 feeding events in 30 territories), the second phase of our mission to eradicate hunger in the Caribbean region. Building on the momentum of five successful years community-driven initiatives and transformative events, this effort represents a bold a comprehensive expansion of our impact.
The 30 targeted territories are Aruba, Antigua, Anguilla, Bonaire, Barbados, Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbuda, Curacao, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Martin, St. Maarten, St. John, St. Barts, Turks & Caicos, and Trinidad & Tobago.
The Problem
Feeding Caribbean is building a comprehensive hunger relief network across the Caribbean, modeled after the successful food bank system in the United States. Our mission is to establish 30 interconnected food banks—one in each territory—united under a single network to maximize efficiency and impact.
By creating a cohesive, region-wide system, we are significantly increasing our ability to eradicate hunger in each territory and throughout the Caribbean. With this network fully in place, communities will have greater access to essential food resources, fostering long-term food security and sustainability across the region.
The Solution
Feeding Caribbean proudly celebrated the 4th anniversary of Hoops Against Hunger, a powerful initiative that unites basketball and community service to combat food insecurity. What began with the support of Northwestern and Vanderbilt Universities’ Women’s basketball teams has grown into a widespread movement, now including the Howard University Men’s basketball team and the University of the Virgin Islands Men’s and Women’s teams. Through these collaborations, we’ve expanded our reach, deepened our impact, and strengthened the bond between sports and social responsibility.
This milestone event would not be possible without the continued support of The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, our primary sponsor, and our valued partnership with the Methodist Training Outreach Center. Their dedication has been instrumental in making a lasting difference in the communities we serve. We are also grateful to ESPN for helping spread awareness of our cause, amplifying our mission to end hunger across the Caribbean. As we reflect on four years of success, we remain committed to growing Hoops Against Hunger, ensuring that every game played brings us one step closer to a hunger-free future.
Advocacy is essential, and contacting representatives is an easy and effective means of citizen involvement. Supporting hunger initiatives and awareness over social media is another simple option. On a local level, communities can provide meals for the hungry among them.
In the last 26 years, the number of hungry people worldwide has fallen by 216 million. With enough public determination, this amount will continue to drop until no one in the world goes to bed hungry.
