Second Harvest Japan (2HJ) and Second Harvest Asia (2HA) shipped over 140 tons of food aid to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for redistribution to various feeding programs and NGOs in the Philippines. We thank our donors for their generous support, in particular Del Monte USA.
Here are some photos of DSWD’s warehouse when 2HA Chair Charles McJilton visited there.

If you know somebody working at a food company, NGO, or other groups related to poverty alleviation, there might be an opportunity for us to work together to reduce the hunger in the Philippines.
Second Harvest Asia is developing a regional food bank network in Asia to share best practices and experiences with other food banks. We hold online meetings regularly with food banks in the region.
