Our Story

The Archdiocesan Nourishment Center (ANC) was established in 2014 as a response to the growing hunger and poverty in Davao City. As a project of ACLAIM of The Roman Catholic Bishop of Davao, Inc., ANC began with a simple mission: to provide daily meals to undernourished children in the city’s most vulnerable communities.

From a humble feeding program, ANC has evolved into a holistic, faith-rooted initiative addressing not just physical hunger, but also education, health, and spiritual needs. With the guidance of the ANC Board of Trustees, and the generous support of volunteers, donors, and partner organizations, we continue to serve with compassion and integrity.

Today, ANC remains committed to its mission—nourishing lives, restoring dignity, and walking with the poor toward a future of hope.
