Tanging Yaman Foundation donated 15 sacks of rice to the St Joseph Shrine in Cubao, Quezon City. The Shrine's Social Services and Development Ministry repacked the rice into 3 kg bags and distributed these, along with other grocery items, to 100 people with disabilities who are receiving livelihood training and employment assistance from the Rehabilitation Sheltered Workshop in Project 4, QC, a facility managed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
The remaining rice was distributed in Childhaus, a temporary shelter for children with cancer, also in Quezon City.
Maraming salamat to SSDM coordinator August Guatlo and the Shrine team for organizing this activity during a period when the steep increase in food prices is threatening vulnerable families.
