It started with a simple idea -- a desire to help undernourished public school children -- and marketmanila.com readers have responded with such incredible warmth and generosity. From that little spark of an idea some 3 years ago, the marketmanila.com feeding program has raised in excess of PHP1.5 million and provided some 75,000+ FULL meals (the actual number is more, as often beneficiary schools feed more than planned for the budget given) for public school elementary kids in Taguig and Cebu. It has been a SUSTAINED program for the past 3 years, with roughly 250 students participating in 3x a week lunch or breakfast meals for the entire school year. Our biggest single donor has been the restaurant Mamou, and we gratefully acknowledge their generous support over the years.
