As one of the country’s leading q-commerce platforms, foodpanda celebrates its seventh year milestone with a theme of keeping kindness alive. foodpanda enjoined members of its growing ecosystem to give back to its various communities and medical frontliners.
Recognizing the needs of the community and striving to support them during this time, foodpanda organized pandaSHARES, the company’s corporate social advocacy program that facilitates donation drives, to share food and goods donations from the company and its vendors, among medical frontliners in public hospitals and indigent communities in four cities. . These activities were organized to honor the medical frontliners who have been a key contributor in combatting the pandemic, and to help families whose resources have been depleted by the current situation.
“The Filipinos’ trust has been one of the reasons foodpanda is the company that it is today. As we celebrate this milestone, foodpanda makes the call to leverage our growth for good and pool in our resources to give back to the Filipino community by serving the people who are the backbone of the country’s recovery,” said Dan Marogy, Managing Director of foodpanda.
pandaSHARES
foodpanda has partnered with four major public hospitals in the cities of Manila, Baguio, Cebu and General Santoswho will receive 500 sets of lunch meals with 250-peso-vouchers for its staff. The meals, which will be delivered to the Philippine General Hospital, Baguio General Hospital, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, and Dr. Jorge Royeca General Hospital will be care of the company, with additional donations from participating vendors.
Another leg of the pandaSHARES project is the donation of goods and essentials such as food, alcohol, and facemasks to indigent communities of above-mentioned four cities. The goods, which will be a collection of donations from the company and some of its vendors, will be distributed to the beneficiaries through open cupboard setup sharing stations in the city halls of the respective partner local government units.
