The Jes LeRe Hama Corporation (JLRH) is a not-for-profit 501 © (3) public benefit organization founded in 1997 by Marlon C Reid (named in honor of his parents, the late Jesse Lee and Hattie Mae Reid.) to transform distressed and underserved communities.
Born and raised in Marianna, Arkansas, Marlon realized early in life that he lived in a community with unmet needs. He saw those needs and worked tirelessly to find a solution to change the social and economic status of a region.
Food for Development and Nutrition
OPERATION FF-DAN
Operation FF-DAN goals are to utilize Jes LeRe Hama’s agricultural partners and donors to grow and warehouse fresh foods for families in need on a consecutive and yearly basis.
Food for Development & Nutrition was developed to help meet the high demands and growing needs of supplying nutrition foods to communities in need. Jes LeRe Hama (JLRH) has partnered with the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff’s Agriculture Demonstration & Outreach Center to grow the best health conscious foods with no harmful chemicals. A million acres of food, fruit and nut trees will be planted yearly to supply the demands of food banks and communities in need.
We will use education and technology to produce the best quality foods at FDA standards. Not only will JLRH partner with UAPB but will also collaborate with other University’s Agriculture Demonstration programs to expand Operation FF-DAN across the country and globe.
Our primary focus is supplying foods to families in need and replenishing the food bank’s warehouses and storage shelves.
Operation FF-DAN will contribute to our food chain by growing and supplying fresh foods to feed the hungry around the world.
