Legion post in Philippines sponsors feeding program for children

American Legion Allen "Pop" Reeves Post 123 sponsored their first feeding program for the Children’s Better Life Feeding Program of the Northville Resettlement area in Angeles City, Philippines, on Sept. 3, 2022.

This program is run by Milo Hernandez and Belle Damasco. Post Commander Chuck Conners, with the assistance of Post Adjutant/2nd Vice Commander Larry Wade, was able to feed 175 to 200 children a hearty breakfast of sopas (a type of Philippine soup with noodles, vegetables and meat), a banana and a juice drink. Also, a special big thank-you to John and Abby Dibble for their generous donation of 4,000 Philippine pesos for this feeding program.

Post 123 will sponsor the first Saturday of every month for the feeding program with a donation of P4K for their post general fund. Post 123 hopes to sponsor a Christmas special feeding/party for these needy kids in the month of December.
