As part of the Kalinga sa Kalusugan initiative during the First College-wide Community Extension Program, the TCGC Medical and Dental Clinic and the Institute of Health Sciences—the same group that facilitated the community health education and medical services—also conducted a feeding program for daycare learners. The activity provided nutritious meals to support the children's physical growth, cognitive development, and overall nutritional well-being while addressing the immediate challenge of childhood hunger within the partner community.
In addition to providing nutritious food, the activity reinforced the health education component of the Kalinga sa Kalusugan program by promoting healthy eating habits and proper nutrition among young learners. Through this integrated approach, the initiative highlighted the strong connection between nutrition and health, recognizing that adequate nourishment is essential for healthy growth, disease prevention, and improved learning outcomes. By ensuring that no child is left behind due to hunger and by fostering healthier lifestyles from an early age, the program contributed to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, demonstrating TCGC's commitment to inclusive, community-centered, and sustainable health interventions.
