Matina Community Pantry

Every act of kindness creates a ripple of hope.

Our heartfelt thanks to Melba Vidal, Suzette Aliño, Nancy Parreño, and Pat Gonzales for your generous donations for the earthquake victims of Glan, Sarangani Province, and Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental. Your generosity allowed us to reach families when they needed help the most.

Together with the Art Relief Mobile Kitchen (ARMK), we were able to:

💙 June 11 – Deliver a 15-ton water tanker and jerry cans to Malapatan, Sarangani Province, providing clean drinking water to affected communities.

💙 June 12 – Serve hot arroz caldo, bread, eggs, and distribute clean clothes to families in Glan.

💙 June 20 – Once the roads became passable, continue our relief mission to Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental, where we served hot meals, bread, eggs, dried fish, and distributed around 350 packs of clean clothing.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and prayed for this mission. Your compassion brought not only relief but also hope to many families.

A 12-year-old volunteer from Matina Community Pantry offered to bake cupcakes for families affected by the earthquake.

Yesterday, together with her family, she baked and packed more than 250 cupcakes and nearly 100 waffles for distribution through the pantry.

We are grateful for every volunteer, donor, and supporter who shares their time, talents, and resources to help others. We hope these simple treats will add a little sweetness to the day of the children and families who will receive them.

Magtinabangay. Mag-inambitay. Mag-amumahay. ❤️

Spreading warmth and hope, one blessing at a time! ✨

What started as a simple trip by our volunteers to buy relief clothes at S&A turned into an outpouring of generosity. When the owner found out the clothes were for earthquake victims, they completely waived the payment and donated 19 whole sacks of thrifted clothing!

The community spirit didn't stop there. Bubble B Laundromat graciously offered to wash and sanitize the clothes so they are fresh and ready for distribution.

We were also blessed to receive several sacks of freshly laundered clothing from an anonymous donor. Every donation, big or small, helps bring comfort and dignity to families recovering from the earthquake.

Currently, our volunteers are busy sorting and packing these items for families in Sarangani Province and Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental.

To S&A, Bubble B Laundromat, our anonymous donor, and everyone who has volunteered, prayed, and contributed daghang salamat kaayo. Our hearts are deeply overwhelmed by your kindness.

May we continue to be blessed so that we may be a blessing to others. May we never grow tired of helping, sharing, and caring for one another.

Magtinabangay. Mag-inambitay. Mag-amumahay. ❤️
