Feeding Hope Behind Bars: Loaves x Fish Foundation

On February 6, 2026, the Philippine Jesuit Prison Service Foundation, Inc. (PJPS) formally expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the Loaves x Fish Foundation, led by Ambassador Joseph Yap, for their generous and unwavering support in providing free meals for PJPS programs since August 2025.

Representing PJPS were Fr. Bok (Acting Executive Director), MK Guaño (Associate Director), and Mariel Tolentino, who met with Ambassador Yap to honor the Foundation’s compassionate commitment to serving Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs), particularly those participating in formation initiatives such as the Bagito Program and other rehabilitative activities.

Food from the Loaves x Fish Foundation being distributed to Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) at the Reception and Diagnostic Center (RDC) during our Bagito Program.

Through their sustained support, Loaves x Fish Foundation has helped nourish not only the bodies but also the hope and dignity of our incarcerated brothers and sisters, reminding them that they are remembered, valued, and cared for beyond prison walls.

During the visit, PJPS was also given the opportunity to tour the Foundation’s kitchen, where volunteers selflessly prepare meals for various beneficiaries. Witnessing this labor of love affirmed the spirit of mercy, solidarity, and mission that defines the partnership.

The meeting also opened doors to future collaborative opportunities, strengthening our shared commitment to service and transformation.

We pray that it may continue to grow, multiplying its impact like the loaves and fish in the Gospel.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
