Amway Philippines partnered with the Office of the Vice President Leni Robredo (OVP) to distribute care packages to frontliners, communities in need, and locally stranded individuals (LSIs) and street dwellers for its Share-a-Meal project.
“Our commitment to help individuals lead healthier and more empowered lives is not just for our customers and partners, but to all Filipinos especially those who need it most,” Leni Olmedo, Country Manager of Amway Philippines, shares.
The beneficiaries of the Share-a-Meal project include LSIs waiting for a trip back to their hometowns, stranded seafarers, and street dwellers from Manila North Port, Sta. Cruz Manila, Paco Manila, Delpan, and Quezon Memorial Circle. The OVP identified these recipientsas those who have little to no access to food due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The OVP has been actively running initiatives since March to provide assistance to hospitals, health centers, clinics, checkpoints, shelters, LSIs, street dwellers, transportation groups, and other communities in need. With the help of donors and volunteers, the OVP has mobilized almost P12 million worth of food resources in and outside Metro Manila.
Aside from the Share-a-Meal project, the partnership between Amway Philippines and the OVP will also distribute over P300,000 worth of care packages of various Amway products to frontliners and communities.These packages include daily essentials from the Amway portfolio such as G&H body wash, Glister toothpaste, and sugar-free XS energy drink to help frontliners stay active without sacrificing health.
“Our frontliners risk their lives every day to keep us safe, so it’s just fair that we do our part in helping them stay in good shape, too,” concluded Olmedo.
