π± SOW β’ GROW β’ FEED 2026 β From Seeds to Service! π²β€οΈ
What we SOWED, we GREW, and what we GREW, we used to FEED our community.
The collaboration between Seeds of Hope Pinakbet International Inc. (SOHPII) and the Toronto Kapuso Lions Club (TKLC) successfully completed its 2026 SOW β’ GROW β’ FEED projectβan initiative built around three important areas of service:
π± ENVIRONMENT β SOWING and GROWING vegetables encourages gardening, sustainability, and care for our environment.
π₯ DIABETES AWARENESS β What we grow promotes the importance of vegetables and a nutritious, balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.
π² HUNGER β The harvest ultimately becomes food to SHARE, helping provide nourishing meals to members of our community.
Our final Hunger Service Outreach at Storefront East Scarborough brought together around 25 volunteers who served hot meals to over 60 people, featuring traditional Filipino Pinakbet, chicken adobo and rice.
Special thanks to Ma. Sherry Lacson Tan, founder of SOHPII, for preparing the Pinakbet; TKLC President Relly Pardinas for preparing the adobo and rice; God Strength Ministries for the fresh vegetables; and Tim Hortons for the sweets.
From the soil to the table, every stage has a purpose:
SOW for the ENVIRONMENT.
GROW for healthier communities.
FEED to help fight HUNGER.
π± Plant with purpose. Grow with compassion. Feed with love.
