Two stations were set up on Dapitan and P. Noval streets.

The university's community pantry is open every Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Those who will be queuing up are required to wear their face masks and face shield, observe physical distancing, and bring their quarantine passes.

Seniors and minors are not allowed to fall in line.

Meanwhile, Adamson University's San Vicente de Paul Parish has also put up its own community pantry located along San Marcelino in Ermita, Manila.
