Press Release
POE RELEASE
Two government agencies alone have almost P10 billion to put up food pantries that will serve meals to millions of children in schools and day care centers this year, Sen. Grace Poe said.
Poe said the number of beneficiaries of the child feeding programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Education (DepEd) could increase if the two agencies will learn from the success of community pantries and partner with nongovernment organizations. The funds can be leveraged to extend the reach of the feeding programs, Poe said. The community pantry experience shows that there is tremendous goodwill among our people just waiting to be tapped for a great cause, and addressing child hunger is definitely one, she said.

Poe said the two agencies have almost P10 billion in their budget allocations for this year that they can use to put up “food pantries”, to serve meals to school children.
She said the beneficiaries of the child feeding programs could be expanded if the DSWD, and the DepEd would learn from the success of community pantries. They could partner with local government units and non-government organizations, such as church groups, civil society and business associations, she said.
“The community pantry experience shows that there is tremendous goodwill among our people just waiting to be tapped for a great cause, and addressing child hunger is definitely one,” Poe, who earlier filed a resolution to commend community pantry organizers, said in a statement.
