More than 30 community pantries offer 'bayanihan' in San Juan City
Several community pantries have been established in Mandaluyong City's District 1 to support residents affected by the NCR-plus lockdown.
These pantries are located in Barangays Addition Hills, Daang Bakal, Highway Hills, and Poblacion.
The initiative was launched by Kababaihan Kakaiba ng Mandaluyong (KKM) with backing from the Mandaluyong City local government.
The concept behind these pantries follows the "give what you can, take what you need" principle, inspired by the Maginhawa Community Pantry.
The local government emphasized the importance of bayanihan and mutual aid during the ongoing pandemic, expressing confidence in collective recovery.
