DONATION DRIVE UPDATE | Mindanao Earthquake Relief Response

A week ago, many communities across Mindanao were shaken by a series of strong earthquakes. Since then, we have witnessed something equally powerful: people coming together to help.

As of 8:00 AM on June 22, 2026, our relief drive has raised ₱314,800 for families and communities affected by the disaster. This would not have been possible without every person who donated, volunteered, visited our Community Yard Sale, shared our posts, or encouraged others to support the cause.

We are also grateful to the organizations and individuals who have partnered with us and placed their trust in this initiative. Your support continues to help us reach more communities in need.

While we are encouraged by what we have accomplished together, many families are still recovering and need continued assistance. For this reason, we will continue accepting cash and in kind donations until June 29, 2026 as we prepare the next rounds of relief support.

If you would like to contribute, please refer to the donation details below and take a moment to review the donation guidelines in the publication material. We are currently accepting nonperishable food items, school supplies, hygiene kits, emergency essentials, and other approved relief goods. Please note that we are no longer accepting clothing donations, including used clothes, in compliance with current government guidelines and instructions for relief operations.

For inquiries and partnership opportunities, you may contact us at 09544785572 or message Harold Banggay or May Fiel Divino.

Thank you for reminding us that even in difficult times, kindness, generosity, and community always find a way forward.
