Sharing Food and Hope for a Better Life

Food Distribution
REACH and churches in Butuan City serving food for youth in the Children in Conflict With the Law (CICL) program. Parents also took part.

REACH Project Coordinator, Rev. Maxie Tiguman, belongs to The Good News Butuan. The group recently sponsored a feeding program with REACH for families with children whose choices have put them in conflict with the law. Values formation was also included in the program.

The Good News Butuan is a group of pastors in Butuan City seeking to partner with local barangays to bring about social transformation. The group sees spirituality as an important component for instilling values in the community for a better society. 

Other services that TGNB proposes are supplemental feeding, values formation, and marriage counseling. They also offer free mass weddings for unwed couples through Article 34 of the Family Code.
