Addressing Food Insecurity and Settlement Challenges<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Community partners emphasized the scale of need.
\nUnited Way Calgary<\/strong> notes that
\none in five residents in Calgary experiences food insecurity<\/i>. For families like
\nGary and Beng Frost<\/strong>, who are unable to work and live on fixed incomes, the program offered both relief and dignity.\n<\/p>\n

Gary shared:
\n“There are many people like myself who feel invisible. Programs like this remind us we are seen, supported, and valued.”<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

Building Belonging and Resilience for International Students and Immigrants<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

An officer from the FYM Foundation explained the purpose of the outreach:
\n
“We are called not only to recognize suffering but to act with compassion, extending the warmth of community to all who are struggling.”<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

The initiative combined
\nhumanitarian aid<\/strong> with
\ncommunity connection<\/strong>, offering:
\n
\u00b7
\nImmediate relief<\/strong> through food and clothing distribution
\n
\u00b7
\nVolunteer engagement<\/strong>, linking newcomers with established community members
\n
\u00b7
\nEmotional support<\/strong>, as recipients shared stories of resilience and belonging\n<\/p>\n

Volunteer
\nRosoly Soriano<\/strong>, who invited 87 immigrant families and students to the Nepean, Ontario event, reflected:
\n“When communities come together, healing begins. These gatherings showed the power of kindness and solidarity.”<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

Commemorating a Legacy of Faith-Based Humanitarian Service<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

The campaign also honoured the
\n139th birth anniversary of Brother Felix Y. Manalo<\/strong>, the first Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. By aligning commemoration with
\nhumanitarian outreach<\/strong>, the FYM Foundation reinforced its role as a
\nfaith-based organization supporting immigrant settlement, disaster relief, and global community development<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n
