How to organize an outreach project with Caritas Manila
MANILA, Philippines — Philstar.com's Lifestyle and Entertainment section recently held an outreach program to feed and party with 50 children inside the Caritas Manila in Pandacan, Manila.
For those who want to do the same and share their blessings with unfortunate children this Christmas season, Caritas Manila's Youth Servant Leadership and Education Program Head Maribel Palmitos told Philstar.com that volunteers just need to call them.
"Tatawag lang po sa amin. Tapos iko-connect na lang namin kayo sa area kung saan maraming kabataang nangangailangan," she said.
"Sa Metro Manila, 74 parish ang partners natin. Sa bandang Tondo, Baseco, may mga volunteers tayo do'n. Kumbaga kami 'yung mag-lilink sa inyo sa mga bata. Kayo po ang mamimili kung saan niyo gustong magpakain," she added.
For donations to Caritas Manila, they have a Facebook page to connect with them.
"You can call us naman po. May isang department kami na nangangalaga ng mga volunteers. 'Yung Financial Stewardship Division, sila po 'yung nangangalaga sa ating mga donors," Palmitos said.
