The fund aims to alleviate the difficulties of marginalized communities impacted by lockdowns and to support front-liners in the medical field, police, and military.
As of April 14, the FCCCF has distributed medical supplies like N95 masks, PPEs, and sanitizing alcohol to front-liners and hospitals nationwide.
Rice donations have also been made to impoverished families in Metro Manila and various provinces.
