Feed the Hungry San Miguel dedicates its Headquarters to early founders 

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MAY 6 2021 – Feed the Hungry San Miguel is pleased  to announce the dedication of its headquarters in honor of Tony and  Shirley Adlerbert. Acquired by FTH in 2011, the former metal shop now serves as Feed the  Hungry’s warehouse and distribution center, as well as administrative office space.

Cooking classes and workshops for the nutrition program are also conducted there.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 900 tons of food products have been distributed to 20,000 people from this central location. 

Tony and Shirley Adlerbert are original founders of Feed the Hungry San Miguel  and have been visionary leaders since its inception. For decades, they  have contributed their time and their passion for helping others, to ensure the continued  success of the organization and its mission. Tony served as president and executive  director from 1994 to 2000 and has since been an active member of the Advisory  Board. Shirley served as treasurer, led the volunteers program, and filled many  other roles in the organization, including fundraising, purchasing, and recruiting, as  well as delivering food to rural communities and serving meals at FTH school  kitchens.  “Feed the Hungry will always share a large part of our hearts and we are  so grateful to have had the opportunity to give back,” said Tony. 

After nearly 30 years living in San Miguel de  Allende, Mr. and Mrs. Adlerbert are  returning to the United States to be closer to family. In recognition of their  leadership and dedication to the wellbeing of the children of San Miguel, Feed the  Hungry has dedicated its headquarters to them. The farewell ceremony and  unveiling of the building dedication sign took place on May 3. Together with the  staff, cooks, board members, and directors, they joined in songs of joy and warm  hugs as fond farewells were exchanged.
