"It's an honor to provide meals to veterans, single moms, and families facing tough times," said President Rafael "Ray" Estrada. "I am grateful for our partners like Defenders of Freedom and Calvary Church for helping us reach those in need. It is a powerful testament to the impact we can have when we come together. I am honored to be a part of such a generous and caring community."

The Estrada Global Foundation helps local families, refugees, and displaced citizens provide for their basic needs and safety. The Foundation's mission reflects President Ray Estrada's personal experience. When Ray was twelve, his family fled Nicaragua, barely escaping the country's violent civil war and coming to the safety of America.

"44 years ago, I came to Galesburg seeking refuge from a war. Because of the kindness and opportunity of this great nation, I was able to pursue my version of the American Dream," explained President Ray Estrada. "I'm honored we can provide meals to those in need because the American Dream is not just about individual success. It's about creating a better future for all, caring for our neighbors, and ensuring others can pursue their dreams. That is what makes America exceptional."

The Estrada Global Foundation provides aid to refugees and displaced citizens through direct assistance that helps support their basic needs and safety. The Estrada Foundation educates people about the profound dangers tyrannical government structures pose to human rights, individual liberty, and economic freedom.

Ray Estrada serves as President and Chairman of the Estrada Global Foundation. In addition to his humanitarian work, Estrada has helped raise awareness of the murder, imprisonment, and persecution of people for their political and religious views. Locally, Estrada served as Chief of the Knox County Sheriff's Auxiliary Department. Estrada lives in Galesburg with his family and attends Corpus Christi Catholic Church.
