Welcome to The Philippine Foodbank Foundation, Inc.!
With deep gratitude to our Cooperators/Partners; we have been able to respond to Pope Francis’ exhortation to reflect on the “Culture of Waste” by identifying ways and approaches to deal with this problem, and to convey solidarity with the undernourished who comprise 21 % of our Philippine population.
Thus, in early 2017, the Philippine Foodbank Foundation Inc. was born: with Bernie Villegas PhD as Chairman; Lito Sandejas, PhD as President; Danilo Navarro as VP/COO; Itong Torres as Trustee; and Jimmy Ladao as Trustee (replaced by Quintin Pastrana upon Jimmy’s demise).
As of October 2021, or after 4 years from start of operations approximately 140 million pesos (at retail prices) of Food and Household Essentials; has been distributed thru a network of about 150 groups, reaching about 3 million undernourished of our population.
The Concept
The foundation aims to distribute these products to the marginalized utilizing parishes, the religious, orphanages, schools & charitable institutions as their partners to reach the grassroots.
Legal Approval
On April 5, 2017, the final approval of the Certificate of Registration of the Philippine Foodbank Foundation Inc was secured from the Securities & Exchange Commission.
The First Donor
It was on February 22, 2017 that the initial donation of milk products was given by Alaska Milk Philippines. It was subsequently distributed to Dual Tech Training Center Foundation Inc & Anihan Technical School.
The Foundation has over 129 beneficiaries which covered part of Metro Manila & provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Mindoro, Laguna, Tarlac, Bicol, Abra, Apayao, Batangas, Pampanga, Quezon, Marawi, Tagaytay, Angono, Rizal, Cebu, CamarinesSur.
Foreign Beneficiaries
Aside from the local beneficiaries, the products have reached other countries including Myanmar, Kazakstan, Indonesia, and Portugal.
