Army troopers donate two-day food allowance to needy families in Aurora
The Army's 91st Infantry "Sinagtala" Battalion launched an enhanced "Adopt-a-Barangay" program in Aurora, named "Kapwa ko, Sagot ko," to assist indigent families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Troopers voluntarily donated their two-day food allowance, totaling P48,000, to fund the initiative.
In coordination with local officials, 120 food packs were distributed to needy families in Barangay Calabuanan.
The initiative is a response to the government's call to help mitigate the crisis's effects and follows Army leadership's encouragement to adopt communities.
The program exemplifies the "Bayanihan" concept, aiming to build upon helping people during difficult times.
The act of kindness was lauded by the Sangguniang Kabataan chairman of Barangay Calabuanan as timely and heartwarming.
