PEARLS Monthly Feed for the Homeless

In celebration of Pride Month, we invite our volunteers to wear shirts in PRIDE colors as we come together once again for our Monthly Feeding for the Homeless. On June 28, Project PEARLS will go around the streets of Manila to distribute hot meals to children and families experiencing homelessness—those who are among the most vulnerable and often forgotten.

Through this initiative, we hope to let them know:
💛 You are seen.
💙 You are heard.
💜 You are cared for and loved.

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

✨ We also encourage volunteers to bring:

• Snacks (easy-to-eat items)
• Toiletries (soap, toothbrush, etc.)
• Coloring books and crayons (for the kids!)

Let’s come together in the spirit of Bayanihan to bring joy, color, and dignity to our kababayans on the streets. Join us and be a spark of hope this Pride Month! 🌟

Meet-up Details: 

• 9:00 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
