San Miguel Corporation donated over 8,400 sacks of flour to local government units and bakers around Metro Manila to help keep small businesses afloat while ensuring that affordable and nutritious breads are available to their respective communities.
SMC President Ramon S. Ang said this will supplement the local government units’ food rations and provide added nutrition needed to help keep citizens healthy against the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The local government units need all the sup¬port they can get in making sure that their citizens do not go hungry and are free from illness during the Covid-19 pandemic. Aside from our food donations, we’re providing them flour for them to bake bread,” Ang said.
This, he added, will also provide some relief to small bakers struggling to stay afloat. A 25-kg bag of flour can make about 1,600 pieces of pandesal.
