For the past few weeks, there has been a significant need for extending a helping hand to the underprivileged and daily wagers in the Philippines. We at Zomato want to be at the forefront of addressing such pressing issues especially during this time of need. In the past, we have worked with LGUs and the Robin Hood Army in conducting feeding programs to alleviate some of these problems and have achieved great results. 

With this spirit, we are launching the Philippines chapter of our Feeding Foundation. Feeding Philippines. For the fight against hunger during the COVID pandemic, we are proud to partner with Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP) in raising funds for those who need assistance in their daily food needs during this pandemic.

Currently, RAHP collects the goods from food manufacturers and other corporate partners to donate their surplus inventory and other resources available to help those in need. Then the supplies are delivered to different areas of Metro Manila and in the provinces of Isabela, Laguna, Cebu, Iloilo, Negros, Misamis Oriental, and Davao.

However, this is not enough to sustain the needs of the assisted families. The quarantine has been extended until April 30 in Philippines, which makes the donations even more critical. Most of RAHP’s assisted families in both poor urban and rural areas are often unemployed or have informal jobs, usually on a no-work-no-pay scheme.

During distribution, social distancing is of prime importance. Instead of expecting the families to gather at one place, the on-ground team is keen on distributing supplies door-to-door, to keep everyone safe.

How can you help?

Your donation of PHP100 is equal to 1 food pack good for a family of 8. As of now we are only accepting online bank transfers or GCash bank transfers.

Let’s all help out, even at the comfort of our homes. Let’s do our part in supporting our nation so we can serve more communities, in partnership with RAHP. Your donations will directly go to RAHP for a quicker response during these dire and troubling times.
