Garden Club feeds 150 for breakfast

The Negros Occidental Garden Club, under the presidency of Lope Nonoy Napao, recently treated 150 children and adults to a healthy and nourishing breakfast of arrozcaldo with chicken, egg, bread and fruit juices.

The feeding activity, held in the all-purpose gym at the Purok Gonzaga Ext., Brgy. Taculing, Bacolod was part of the club’s outreach programs designed to help the less fortunate in the community. The food was prepared and served by some 30 volunteer club members. Feeding activities address hunger and malnutrition and promote good health and nutrition.

Founded in 1962, the Negros Occidental Garden Club is one of the oldest and most active clubs of its kind in the Philippines. It aims to promote, encourage, foster and cultivate interest in garden floriculture and community beautification as well as support local charitable projects.* (Robert Harland)
