For many organizations, a feeding program means gathering people for a meal and heading home afterward. Spag-Asa Feeding has taken that simple idea and turned it into something much bigger.
Based in Candoni, Negros Occidental, the group has built a regular schedule of outreach that reaches different sectors of the community. A look at just one month of its activities in July shows how a simple meal can become a way of caring for people in different situations.
Schools remained a regular stop. Through its SPES Bakery initiative, the organization distributed free bread to students in 17 schools while also holding feeding activities in schools in Cauayan and Ilog.
Its outreach extended beyond classrooms. Every third Saturday of the month, volunteers visited the Binalbagan District Jail and the Binalbagan Infirmary, serving spaghetti meals, bread, and milk to around 300 beneficiaries through its monthly jail and hospital ministries. The activity was supported by donors, including the 2,000 Hail Mary’s Group, whose contributions helped sustain the outreach.
When Typhoon Inday affected parts of Negros Occidental, Spag-Asa Feeding and SPES Bakery quickly shifted their efforts to relief operations. Volunteers traveled to communities in Candoni, Cauayan, and Sipalay, distributing free bread to families as they coped with the storm and its aftermath.
These were only some of the organization’s activities in July.
Together, they paint a picture of a group that has made community service part of its routine. Whether serving children in schools, patients in hospitals, persons deprived of liberty, or families recovering from disasters, Spag-Asa Feeding continues to show up where help is needed.
Sometimes, meaningful change begins with something as simple as a plate of spaghetti or a loaf of bread. What matters most is the willingness to keep coming back—and Spag-Asa Feeding has made that commitment part of its everyday mission.
