As Feed the Hungry, Inc. of Washington D.C. continued to support the national development through material and financial aid for the education of Filipino children through the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, it has inaugurated a new project for the people of Padre Garcia, Batangas.

The FtH and CFO, together with the school management of Quilo-Quilo North Elementary School (QNES), and the local government of Padre Garcia, inaugurated the new classroom building sponsored by the FtH Golf Tournament of 2007. The new classrooms numbered 64 and 65 were started in January 2009 by the People's Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization, Inc. Due to some technicalities it was put on hold and finally continued by Engr. Myla Adriano, a private contractor, in November 2009. Total cost of the classroom building project was P860,460.00.

Though the completion of the building has taken time, it opened doors for opportunities to acquire a bigger building. According to Mayor Prudencio Gutierrez of Padre Garcia, the FtH donation motivated the local government to initiate the acquisition of another bigger building. It may be recalled that the QNES housed its students in three (3) school venues - the barangay hall, the barangay chapel and the Quilo-Quilo South Elementary School before the school acquired its new facilities. Coinciding with the classroom inauguration, the CFO and FtH volunteers also conducted a gift-giving activity for 50 senior citizens and 200 children from various barangays in Padre Garcia. The activity was done in coordination with the Office of Mayor of Padre Garcia, Batangas and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development - Padre Garcia (MSWD).
