Jake and Shawna-Lee Stubbe are committed to helping the needy in Caribbean nation through their charity 'Food For Life and Hope'
Jake Stubbe and wife Shawna-Lee Stubbe — evangelical Christians who live near Richards Landing on St. Joseph Island — are on a mission to raise money to buy food for needy people in the Dominican Republic.
“In May of 2017, I went to our church’s mission committee and asked if they would be able to help raise money for the roof. In December 2017 Raise the Roof was launched in our church and in January 2018 we had the money raised for the roof. The money came in four and a half weeks.” “We came back to Canada right into COVID restrictions. The Dominican Republic was locked down with people unable to work and feed themselves. That was a very tough situation for the people in the Dominican Republic. They don’t store food ahead because it’s too hot to store food. They often find work daily to buy food. In March of 2020 I felt that the Lord wanted me to send some money to the Dominican Republic for food. I sent the money as God asked.
“We send money to Food for Life and Hope to purchase food and they distribute it in the Dominican. They’ll buy a skid of rice, for example, package it and distribute it to families,” Jake said.
