How We Operate

How Your ImpactComes To Life

We set up a food drop

Our team will set up a food drop to provide aid for struggling families in remote areas of Bali. Our aim is to provide families with enough food to last them 3-4 weeks.

We scout for the most vulnerable

On average, a food drop will provide aid to 20-40 families each month. During our food drops, our team scouts for families in critical need of adequate shelter.

A family's life is changed forever

We then choose one family to completely change their lives. We build them an adequate home to properly sustain a family and make sure to provide them with anything they need for a fair chance at life.

We share their stories

On average our projects take 1-4 weeks to complete. We'll keep you updated along the way and show the world the power of community and love.

We Keep The Impact Alive

Who We Are

More Than 25 YearsServing Forgotten Families

Rescue 2000 was founded by Miguel Araya in Atlanta and formally launched in 2000. What started as a local effort to feed people on the street has grown, over more than twenty-five years, into an international organization.

Today the work spans two continents. In the U.S., a weekly Atlanta street feed and a monthly Northern Georgia food bank serve our own communities. Abroad, Miguel's sons Cristobal and Elias lead food and home-building programs in Indonesia, always delivered through trusted local partners.

The principle hasn't changed since the beginning: to serve, not to be served, and to prove the result, so every supporter can see exactly where their giving goes.

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.”
Matthew 20:28 The verse Rescue 2000 is built on

We strive to keep a giving percentage above 70%. This means 70 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to providing for our projects. No member of Rescue 2000 is on payroll. The remaining 30% covers overhead costs, such as transportation, marketing, project fees, and more.
