The people who receive the corn are the poorest of the poor, particularly those in third-world countries whose diet includes corn as a staple. It is in these areas that high lysine corn is welcomed. These may be victims of a natural disaster, such as earthquakes or floods, or a politically produced disaster such as war and deprivation. These may be people who are subsisting with almost nothing and no appreciable resources for food; in some extreme cases their diet may only consist of roots and insects.

Here's a recent email (4-5-02) from Consuelo Angel, "Feed the Children" administrator in San Salvador, El Salvador, Central America:
Dear Mr. Timbrook:
Today we received the papers concerning the corn shipment, and I personally would like to thank you for your support and willingness to help us.
As I already mentioned to you, after the earthquake waters went deeper and our soil is very dry, so farmers are having problems starting their harvest, so I would like to know if we can have another container of corn?...as far as I know 20,000 families will be benefited, and 9% of that population are children under 8 years old. The Nino Phenomenum is causing severe damages on this area, and for that reason we would like to ask you again to you and your organization for your support.
Thank you again and may our Lord bless you richly.
In His Service,
Consuelo

A note from Gwen Richardson, Feed the Children procurement in Oklahoma City:
“We are so fortunate to have the privilege of working with your group. On behalf of the children in Honduras, many many thanks. O Lord, how priceless is Your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They feast on the abundancae of Your house; You give them drink from Your river of delights; For with You is the fountain of life, in Your light we see light. Continue Your love to those who know You. Your righteousness to the upright in heart. Psalm 36:7. “
