To ensure some Nigerians, who may not have enough to celebrate the yuletide season, celebrate joyfully, Project Spread, recently, distributed food packs to no fewer than 2,500 Lagos residents. In each pack was raw rice, chicken, tomato paste and bread.
Speaking on the initiative, Pastor (Mrs.) Ifeanyi Adefarasin said: “Originally, envisioned as a gesture of goodwill to uplift vulnerable families during the festive season, ‘Project Spread’ has transformed into a cornerstone of Christmas in Lagos. It reaches from the often-overlooked areas of Victoria Island, Ajah, Awoyaya, Ibeju, and Sangotedo to the dynamic and bustling neighborhoods of Surulere. Each year, it stands as a beacon of hope, uniting communities in joy and solidarity, and reflecting the true spirit of the season in every action.
“The unwavering dedication of House On The Rock and Pastor Adefarasin in serving underserved communities has turned this festive period into a living testament to the power of giving and fellowship.
Their commitment mirrors the move of God into the future, serving as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the profound impact collective efforts can have.”
One of the beneficiaries, a primary school teacher, Parry Idam, said: “I feel happy receiving this; times are hard right, and the economy is tough on many, so this gift will really be of help to me and my family. Receiving this from the House on the Rock is amazing, so we pray God should keep House on the Rock and its minister-founder, who will keep handling things in times like this.”
