Happy Friday (the 13th), Food Access family and friends!
In what others consider as a peculiar day, we instead choose to celebrate women allies who have helped shape our organizationโs journey in the past months. It is, after all, Womenโs Month! ๐๐ฉท๐
One of our primary cheerleaders is Ms. Patricia Nucum Rabal. Our founder previously worked with her building partnerships to help build a food recovery community in the country. In her current personal capacity, she has continued to champion our expanded food banking, recovery, and security advocacy by actively introducing us to like-minded individuals to push our cause forward.
We first met Coach Yani Moya-Cuenca when she supported community feeding programs a lifetime ago. We got reintroduced by Patricia when we were starting to ramp up our operations for Food Access last year. She, together with the Co-Create Media, Co-Create Studios and Happy Money Club PH teams, sponsored our year-end Soul Kitchen activity that served 2,000 meals across communities in Pasig and Marikina. Their generosity enabled our organization to jumpstart our new Marikina office.
Fast forward to this month and Coach Yani made a kind introduction to Ms. Jam Tan Velez and her Atelier Amรฉlie team and community. Jointly, their teams and communities helped us serve 3,000 meals for various vulnerable groups in Marikina, including the elderly, indigent families, PWD, and students. That activity in turn, helped build our main kitchen.
We are now looking forward to expanding our collective impact through 10,000 meals prepared and served to various institutions supporting women very soon. Imagine how that will further help our food programs!
This is what happens when we choose to empower, support, and uplift each other. This is the power of WOMEN. Indeed, it is true that women hold half the sky.
Thank you, Pat, Yani, and Jam! ๐๐ฉท๐ We are forever grateful.
