History

In 1993, a group of Filipinos and Filipino-Americans from the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area decided to distribute gifts to street children and feed them a good meal during the Christmas holidays in the Philippines. Thus Feed the Hungry, Inc. was formed. Today, Feed the Hungry volunteers are involved in numerous projects and programs that have assisted over 1 million beneficiaries in 78 of 81 provinces and the National Capital Region in the Philippines. Through partnerships and collaboration with non-profit organizations and Philippine governmental agencies, Feed the Hungry continues to play a valuable role in assisting people in need.
