Feed the Hungry San Miguel dedicates its Headquarters to early founders
SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MAY 6 2021 – Feed the Hungry San Miguel is pleased to announce the dedication of its headquarters in honor of Tony and Shirley Adlerbert. Acquired by FTH in 2011, the former metal shop now serves as Feed the Hungry’s warehouse and distribution center, as well as administrative office space.
Cooking classes and workshops for the nutrition program are also conducted there.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 900 tons of food products have been distributed to 20,000 people from this central location.
Tony and Shirley Adlerbert are original founders of Feed the Hungry San Miguel and have been visionary leaders since its inception. For decades, they have contributed their time and their passion for helping others, to ensure the continued success of the organization and its mission. Tony served as president and executive director from 1994 to 2000 and has since been an active member of the Advisory Board. Shirley served as treasurer, led the volunteers program, and filled many other roles in the organization, including fundraising, purchasing, and recruiting, as well as delivering food to rural communities and serving meals at FTH school kitchens. “Feed the Hungry will always share a large part of our hearts and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to give back,” said Tony.
After nearly 30 years living in San Miguel de Allende, Mr. and Mrs. Adlerbert are returning to the United States to be closer to family. In recognition of their leadership and dedication to the wellbeing of the children of San Miguel, Feed the Hungry has dedicated its headquarters to them. The farewell ceremony and unveiling of the building dedication sign took place on May 3. Together with the staff, cooks, board members, and directors, they joined in songs of joy and warm hugs as fond farewells were exchanged.
