This study evaluated the implementation and relevance of Project Pagkaon Aton Tatapon (PAT) in selected elementary schools in District V, Division of Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, with a focus on its contribution to food security, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. Specifically, it examined the level of implementation in terms of resource utilization and partnerships, food recovery and redistribution services, community participation and sustainability practices, and collaboration mechanisms, as well as the program’s perceived relevance to existing policies and community needs. A quantitative descriptive– correlational research design was employed, involving 358 respondents selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using a validated survey instrument with a high reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.94) and were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that both the level of implementation and the perceived relevance of Project PAT were rated very high, indicating strong program performance and alignment with its intended objectives. However, relatively lower ratings in sustainability practices and external stakeholder support suggest areas that require further strengthening. Moreover, the results showed a very strong positive relationship (r = 0.890, p < 0.05) between implementation and relevance, implying that improved execution of program components enhances stakeholders’ recognition of its value. The study concludes that while Project PAT is effectively implemented and highly relevant, its long-term impact may be further enhanced through strengthened sustainability initiatives and expanded partnerships. These findings provide evidence-based insights for policymakers, school leaders, and program implementers in improving, sustaining, and potentially scaling food recovery and feeding initiatives within the education sector.
