Caritas Manila aims to provide food assistance to 3,000 indigent families or 15,000 individuals in 15 identified feeding centers in Metro Manila for six months as many poor families and children have been direly affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

"These individuals have experienced a lack of food to eat for at least once in three months," it said in a Facebook post.

To address hunger, Caritas Manila came up with different donation packages. For indigent families:1 Cavan of rice – P2,000;
Assorted fruits and vegetables – P500.

Donation packages to help prevent malnutrition of children are: Meal Subsidy – P1,800 (can feed one child for 120 days); Nutrition Kit – Php 200 (food keeper and tumbler); Grooming Kit – P400 (hygiene essentials); and Medical Assistance – P600 (medical consultation, food supplement subsidy).
Educational toys for 1,000 indigent children (six months to 12 years old) will also be distributed.

"We hope that you may join us in our plight to give the gift of food security to these indigent families and children," Caritas Manila said.

Those who wish to donate may do so through the official bank accounts and online donation portals of Caritas.
