This initiative is supported by the Commonwealth Government’s meal assistance and grocery support to social isolated seniors.

“We are continuing our free service delivery during lockdown. We’re providing fresh baked breads such as pandecoco, pandesal with corned beef, and ensaymada from our “suki”,  Alvin’s Creations’ Bakery,” said Norminda Forteza, AFCS Chaplain.
