Eat-in or carry-out, 10% of all sales will go to support the ministry of Belton based, Hope for the Hungry. Bring your family and friends, there is plenty of room.  McAlister’s Deli offers a wide variety of fresh and tasty sandwiches, giant spuds, entrée salads, soups, sweets and of course the signature Famous Sweet Tea™. Plus, bring school supplies to help provide an education for children in Haiti. Hope for the Hungry helps provide a Christ-centered education to over 800 students at three schools in Haiti. The Taste of Hope event in April will be held at McAlister’s Deli, located at 2102 HK Dodgen Loop, Suite 122 in Temple.  

For 30 years, Hope for the Hungry has served the local community and has changed the lives of thousands throughout the entire world. Education has become a major focus of Hope for the Hungry in an effort to help break the cycle of generational poverty in Haiti. Only 52.9% of people in Haiti over the age of 15 can read and write and only 65% of school aged children are enrolled in school, mainly due to poverty.  Over half (55%) of Haiti’s population is living below the poverty line of $1.24 per day, making the cost of education a major challenge for parents to send their children to school in Haiti.  Hope for the Hungry has been serving in Haiti since 1982 and believes providing an education can help break the cycle of generational poverty in Haiti. All proceeds from the “Taste of Hope” event at McAlister’s Deli will go towards Hope for the Hungry’s efforts to “share the Bread of Life with a starving world.”
