Philippines · Feeding Program

A meal, and a community around the table

We feed 1,000 people every week. Our feeding events bring nutritious food directly to children and families, hosted by our teams and local partners in the neighborhoods where the need is greatest.

Why we do it

A child who is hungry cannot learn. Feeding events are the most immediate way we can help, and they are also how relationships with a community begin — many of the families we later support through scholarships and skills training first met us at a distribution.

Every event is run with volunteers and local partners who know the neighborhood, so food reaches the people who need it and the visit is welcome rather than disruptive.

Students and families connected through these events can also be supported through our scholarship program.

  • 01

    Preparation

    Volunteers gather provisions, portion meals and pack bags of food and snacks before an event begins.

  • 02

    Distribution

    Supplies are brought into the neighborhood, and volunteers hand out food to children and families as they arrive.

  • 03

    Gathering together

    Children and families sit down together, eat, and spend time with the volunteers and community teams hosting the event.
