FtH Inc. financial statements show that for every dollar donated, only 2¢ go to admistrative costs which are mainly door to door shipping charges, U.S. agencies, e.g., IRS, registration fees and stamps. Actually some WB/IMF staff members have started the ball rolling. FtH Inc. thanks those who have designated FtH Inc. as their United Way beneficiary through the years.

In 1997, FtH Inc. raised $17,000 and reached more of our needy countrymen, especially the children. In 1998, FtH Inc. targeted $30,000 as a lot more was needed to be done. Help FtH Inc. attain its goal by sponsoring or participating in their canned goods/toys/books drive. A number of World Bank and IMF staff have agreed to serve as drop-off points for these items. Aside from the metro-Manila areas, beneficiary sites include Cavite, Pampanga, Iloilo and Cebu for health and education projects. See the list of FtH Inc. projects below. Please write to Vicky or Tessie and find out how you can be a Feed the Hungry, Inc. volunteer or advocate.
