The spirit of Bayanihan is alive and kicking in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several groups and individuals have rallied together in order to provide the necessary support to our frontliners and all Filipinos in vulnerable sectors. Help has come in the form of not only monetary and in-kind donations but also the volunteering of time and skills. Continued assistance in the time of crisis is critical as we come up with diverse solutions to better contain the outbreak. Here is a list of donation drives and initiatives you can take part in.

If you would like to focus your assistance to the poor and the elderly, Caritas Manila is asking for cash donations for the production of Caritas LIGTAS COVID-19 kits and Caritas Manna bags to 6,000 poor families in Metro Manila.

Each kit worth P2000 holds enough supplies for a family of ten which includes alcohol, liquid soap, face masks, reusable gloves, cleaning materials and vitamins. On the other hand, the food bag packs goods like rice, canned goods and noodles.

You can also send in your donations to Save San Roque, an alliance for the pro-poor housing of the urban poor community of Sitio San Roque in Quezon City. Apart from food and medical supplies, they are in need of baby products.

In U.P. Los Baños, over 700 students weren’t able to travel back home before the enhanced community quarantine. Taskforce CURE or Community Unit Response-Elb was formed by Serve the People Brigade (STPB) which is spearheaded by the UPLB University Student Council, Samahan ng Kabataan Para sa Bayan (SAKBAYAN), and Youth Advocates for Peace with Justice (YAPJUST). Along with officials from Brgy. Batong Malake, the group was able to deliver relief packages to stranded students and food good for the 300 people around the area. “This task force aims to help students but upon talking with different offices and groups, we are happy that we have extended aid to residents of our community,” says Noreen Flores, spokesperson of the task force and member of the College of Human Ecology Student Council. The task force is still looking for volunteers to help pack food.
