The communities of Magboro and Makogi experienced a wave of hope, gratitude, and renewed strength as RCCG My Father’s House, Salford (U.K), in partnership with the Dolly Children Foundation, launched a heartfelt humanitarian food outreach. Organized through the church’s women’s wing, His Pillars, and its charity arm, Project Cornelius, this initiative is part of a consistent quarterly effort dedicated to uplifting vulnerable women.
Focusing on widows and women facing daily economic challenges, the outreach aimed to empower women at the household level, recognizing that when women are supported, families and communities flourish. Many beneficiaries, who often lack family support, received essential food items—including rice, garri, noodles, cooking oil, and other household staples—carefully packaged to meet immediate needs.
For many widows, this intervention was a deeply emotional Christmas blessing, described as a miracle and a long-awaited answered prayer. As the festive season approached, the timely support eased financial burdens, restored dignity, and brought tangible relief to households that had not anticipated aid.
Throughout the distribution, a mood of gratitude and renewed confidence filled the air, highlighting the power of community and compassion. Representatives from His Pillars and Project Cornelius underscored that supporting women, especially widows, is crucial for stabilizing families and strengthening communities. They emphasized that many women navigate life without extended family or support systems, making ongoing intervention essential.
Church leaders, Pastors Sam and Sarah Okodoa, reaffirmed their commitment to inclusive, community-centered service rooted in compassion and dignity. The outreach welcomed all residents, regardless of religious background, reinforcing the importance of kindness and solidarity.
Mrs. Adedolapo Osuntuyi, founder of the Dolly Children Foundation, described the initiative as a lifestyle of compassion, not a one-time gesture. She shared, “When you look into the eyes of widows who have no family support and see their tears turn into smiles, you are reminded that consistency matters. At the Dolly Children Foundation, we are committed to standing in the gap through partnerships like this, so that no woman feels forgotten and no household is left without hope.”
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Anthony, expressed her heartfelt gratitude: “This support came as a miracle to me. I never expected this, especially at this time. RCCG My Father’s House, Salford, His Pillars, and Project Cornelius have lifted a heavy burden from my home. I am grateful for all the food items. May God bless and watch over everyone who made this possible.”
Beyond the food support, community members noted that the outreach restored a sense of belonging, emotional reassurance, and dignity among women who are often overlooked. The organizers have committed to sustaining and expanding this initiative, aiming to reach more women and strengthen households across Ogun State and beyond, fostering a future of hope and empowerment.
