FEEDING OPERATIONS

Our partnership with Metro World Child Foundation reflects a heartfelt, year-long commitment to serving nutritious hot meals every Saturday.

From February 15 to December 13, 2025, we conducted 24 Saturdays of feeding, reaching children and families across Delpan, Isla Putting Bato, Navotas, Masville, Sucat Highway, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, and disaster-affected communities.

We extend special thanks to Mercy Chefs Global for their vital support during the 3-day feeding operations in Tondo last July 2025, and for continually sowing into this mission throughout the year. In total, we served 55,760 meals—each one a tangible expression of God’s love, care, and hope.
