LTB x PYCC x Kawa Partnership
Serves Hope Again 

May 3, 2025 – LTB Philippines and Philippine Young Chefs Club (PYCC) renewed their partnership with KAWA Pilipinas, preparing 3,276 meals for Manila communities, including fire victims from San Andres, Bukid.

The feeding program operated from KAWA Pilipinas' new, larger facility in C. Ayala St, which is near Hotel Benilde. The space significantly expanded their capacity to serve vulnerable populations. Beneficiaries included indigent communities, individuals in correctional facilities, and residents at the Missionaries of the Poor shelter.

LTB members Chef Jerome Valencia, Chef JA Ventura, Chef J Gamboa, Chef Margarita Marty, Chef Richard Gomez, and Chef Marrk "Koy" Mangandi participated alongside Ms. Jeanine de Jesus, Ms. Belle Bartolome and her Kita Agritech team, Ms. Katleen Evangelista and her Alternatives Food Corp team, and PYCC members with Arvee Bolina heading the PYCC CSR Committee.

Special thanks to Alternatives Food Corp for donating 150kg of chicken breasts, Kita Agritech for their cash donation, Espa-fil Import & Export Corp for tomato products, and to Chef Seng Vital for donating fresh vegetables and for celebrating her birthday with all of us volunteers.

Teams personally delivered meals throughout Manila, ensuring warm food reached those most vulnerable.

This feeding program represents LTB's ongoing commitment to community service, with plans for additional collaborative efforts with KAWA Pilipinas in the coming months.

Kawa accepts volunteers, monetary and food donations for their feeding program.
