Disaster Response
Dana Foundation: From farmers to frontliners
In Davao del Norte, Dana Foundation’s Food Ration Project feeds healthcare workers at the Davao Regional Medical Center, a designated COVID-19 facility, and checkpoint personnel.
With donations, ingredients are bought from Jollibee Group Foundation’s Farmer Entrepreneurship Program (FEP) farmers who lost their income when restaurants closed. Parents cook the meals in a Busog, Lusog, Talino (BLT) Kitchen at Cambanogoy Elementary School. The LGU’s staff then take the meals to the frontliners.
It’s a chain reaction of kindness and generosity. “We are all affected, but we must all help when there’s an opportunity to do so,” says Dana Foundation Executive Director Nelben Moreno.
