PEARLS Monthly Feed for the Homeless!

Every last Saturday of the month, Project PEARLS will go to the City of Manila and distribute hot meals to children and their families who are living on the streets. They are among the most vulnerable during these trying times, and we want to let them know that they are seen, heard, cared for, and loved through this program. Additionally, we strongly encourage volunteers to bring snacks, toiletries, coloring books and crayons for the kids to supplement the distribution.

As a volunteer, you will be assigned to any of the following tasks: food preparation, set-up, distribution, and cleaning up.

Join us in the spirit of Bayanihan by giving them the joy and hope!

Meet-up Details: 

9:30 am, in front of Inland Corp. gate,  Radial Road 10, Tondo (wait outside the gate and do not go in INLAND). Please follow the map so you won’t get lost: https://goo.gl/maps/hziT9jwZdvfm3LTb6
