Mangga Congregation distributes food packs to households

Making sure that the aid would reach every Iglesia Ni Cristo household in this time of pandemic, Church officers and brethren from the Local Congregation of Mangga, Ecclesiastical District of Pampanga North handed out food packs not only to their fellow Church members but to nonmembers as well.

In response to the directive of the Church Administration through the district supervising minister, Brother Joel F. Federeso Sr., the first distribution of aid was held on March 23, 2020. Since then, the local congregation has held the socio-civic activity weekly. Spearheaded by the resident minister, Brother Christopher Gorospe, the brethren gave food packs which contain rice, canned goods, and noodles.

With physical distancing and other safety measures observed, brethren-volunteers distributed the food packs house-to-house. On the sixth and seventh wave of the distribution, some Church members even donated various types of vegetables and chicken meat.
