Hunger Alleviation

The Hunger Alleviation Program is a response to the poverty in the Philippines and other third world countries and a bridge to minister God to the families or communities we are reaching out to.

The Hunger Alleviation Program is composed of:
FAC (Feed-A-Child) and SAB (Share-A-Blessing) Projects.

FAC (Feed-A-Child) recognizes that hunger is lethal for children. FAC basically feeds children aged 6-10 years old because these children are in their primary education. Proper nutrition will ensure their learning ability, growth, and body resistance from diseases.

To truly transform the community spiritually and socio-economically, FAC also offers Community Empowerment and Education, Technical Skill Transfer, and Livelihood Project Development to the parents of the recipients and other community members.

FAC aims to see children who were undernourished before the project to reach a normal weight in relation to their age and height and to do better in school after the 1 year duration of the project. On the other hand, the project wants to raise parents who are more equipped to deal with the health, economic, and spiritual well-being of their children or family.

SAB (Share-A-Blessing) project, on the other hand, is a one-time intervention to communities which we consider as disadvantaged and needy such as prisoners, women, laborers, farmers, urban-poor, physically-challenged individuals, and abused children. This is a secondary thrust of the program, however, we believe this is as necessary as the FAC project. We may just share food or other material blessings once, but we are always bringing Christ to our beneficiaries. By sharing Christ’s word and salvation, we are giving them eternal food and eternal life.

Kinds of Share-a-Blessing Activities:

An occurrence of a major calamity can be devastating and disheartening to the victims. For some, this is the moment to question life and even God. For FGG, this is a chance to reassure these people how God loves them and how perfect His will is.

FGG might not be able to give sustaining relief goods to all of the disaster victims, but by bringing Christ along with our packs of relief goods and engaging the people in a godly worship and praises, we bring people a food for their soul and a package of eternal life. We bridge Christ into their hearts. And if ever they receive Him, they will not burden themselves about the loved ones or the properties they lost, but instead, they will trust God’s leading and look forward to a sunny and everlasting future with Him.
