FoodSHAP® partners with Rise Against Hunger Philippines for Good Food Grocer Food Safety Guidelines

Poverty has long been the major problem for the Filipinos. Alongside the crisis comes hunger which is prevalent in the different parts of the country. Many families are seen in the streets begging for alms and food to eat. Documentaries and news often show a household that eats once a day if they are fortunate enough. According to the Social Weather Survey (SWS) conducted last June 2019, about 10% of the population or an estimated 2.5 million families experienced involuntary hunger at least once in the past three months. To respond to this crisis, one organization strives to battle against hunger through its programs.

Rise Against Hunger Philippines‘ mission is to end hunger through feeding programs and other development projects. One of their latest projects is the opening of the first food bank in the Philippines called the Good Food Grocer (GFG) last May 2018.It aims to feed those who are in need. It feeds families through their soup kitchen that runs daily. It also gives out food donated by their partner companies. GFG also instigates public awareness on nutrition and hygiene education.
