Filinvest at 70: It's All About Giving Back

Filinvest Group marks its 70th anniversary this year and highlights 'the gesture of giving.' 

For every guest in attendance, 70 meals were pledge by Filinvest to the Loaves X Fish Foundation, amounting to a total of 10,000 meals for those most in need.

In line with its mission of Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope, Loaves X Fish Foundation, Inc., operates a charity kitchen that provides free hot meals for the poor, abandoned, marginalized and forgotten. Since opening its doors in February 2024, the kitchen has served over 325,000 meals with the support of its donors, its more than 1.700 volunteers and in partnership with 30 parishes and NGOs.

"Filinvest's 70th year is not only a celebration of our journey but also an opportune time to remind ourselves of our social responsibility," said Ysmael Baysa, COO at Filinvest Development Corp. "Supporting Loaves X Fish allows us to honor our partners while extending care to communities that need it most."
