On May 25, 2019, 202 volunteers of all ages, shapes, and sizes trooped to Bacolod’s Ayala Malls Capitol Central to pack 3,000 LoveBags bound for five destinations to serve children from tribes of the indigenous peoples. Here are just a few of the groups and individuals who generously gave time and energy to share the...
Bacolod Tay Tung High school students, faculty, and staff recently took four joy rides on Mingoy the Food Shuttle. The journeys fed almost 1,000 hungry stomachs through a concert organized by the whole Tay Tung community. Tay Tung started its giving journey with NVC by organizing the Harmony for Marawi concert in 2017 to bring...
Mingoy, NVC’s food shuttle, went on its first Mingo mission on February 19, 2019–two days after its inauguration. Its maiden voyage was sponsored by the loved ones of NVC member Nelia Jacinto, who was celebrating her 84th birthday. In Nelia’s honor, Mingoy drove up to Km 84 and reached Brgy. Biniquil, Kabankalan, where we distributed...
Thank you Cathee Daguia for the 297 pairs of Love Fits slippers that you gifted these children thanks to the Facebook birthday fundraiser you set up a few months ago. You were hoping to raise 250 Australian dollars, but your loved ones surpassed your goal and donated a total of AU$429! Cathee, you may be...
On Emma’s fifth birthday in Hong Kong, she had no gifts to open and 18 of the kids with whom she celebrated her birthday didn’t even attend.

Emma’s parents requested support for NVC’s LoveBags 2019 project and LoveFits slippers instead of presents for Emma....
Husband and wife Bimsy and Tatic Mapa both celebrate their birthdays in February. This year, they decided to gift each other by gifting others.

While we were sleeping, a generous donation for Mingo Meals came in, immediately followed by another set of donations for LoveBags and LoveFits slippers. To celebrate Eilidh’s first birthday, her parents requested donations for these NVC projects instead of presents. We think that it’s not just a charming way to celebrate. It also gives little...
It comes as no surprise. With their combined backgrounds in education, development, and government service, it was an easy choice for Anton and Kathryn Taruc. Instead of sending their wedding guests home with keepsakes, this couple instead gifted 40 students from deprived families of indigenous tribes with LoveBags filled with school supplies. Their love stretched 1,500...
Just in time for Christmas, 110 children from a shoreline barangay in Valladolid, Negros Occidental received LoveBags or LoveFits slippers, all donated, hand packed, and distributed in person by the Ong family of Bacolod and Singapore. Thank you for sharing the LOVE!
Tradition calls for the bride and groom to gift their wedding sponsors with a keepsake, but Chicco and Ada are not doing this on their wedding day, December 8, 2018. Instead, for every godparent, they have enrolled one child in NVC Foundation’s Mingo Meals nutrition program. This unconventional choice will fill 22 hungry little stomachs...
