The Filon Brothers (Luke, Zachary, and Jacob), the Tu Bi Foundation, Dr. and Mrs. Bayani Manalo, and Kona Visayan Club funded four classrooms in Kabangbang, Bantayan Island, Cebu. Alumnae of the College of Holy Spirit of North America augmented the FtH disaster relief funds for two classrooms in Bungsuan, Capiz. Two classrooms in Laserna, Aklan, were built from various donations to Feed the Hungry’s Haiyan Disaster Relief Fund.

Proceeds from the joint PAMWE (Philippine Association of Metropolitan Washington Engineers)/FtH 2014 golf tournament and a grant from the Philippine Humanitarian Coalition funded the construction of a two-classroom schoolhouse/emergency evacuation center in Alangalang Central School (ACS), Alangalang, Leyte.
