Companies and employees of the MVP group have come together to support the countrywide movement of community pantries. Aid in the form of rice, produce, and other dried goods were mobilized by the group to initially benefit over 8,000 individuals and their families through the pantries that have been set-up across Metro Manila.

The Alagang Kapatid Foundation, together with PLDT, have organized a community-panty-on-wheels at Tondo and Navotas, providing fresh vegetables, cleaning solutions, over-the-counter medicines, schools supplies and toys to members of the community.

At the LRT-1 Monumento Station, Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) has set-up an LRT-1 community pantry containing canned goods, vegetables, dry goods, and face shields. Initial donations came from LRMC employees and friends, which eventually increased with the support of passengers and other partners.

Over at Balara, Quezon City, Maynilad employees mobilized resources to support the five-day pantry of MWSS. Water, dried goods, and farm produce sourced from the #BuyLocal Farm-to-Pantry program of another MVP-led company, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), benefited about 1000 individuals.

Meanwhile, One Meralco Foundation provided rice, assorted vegetables, and dried goods to the community pantries in Bulacan, Caloocan, Cavite, Manila, Muntinupa, Navotas and Pasig City.

The PLDT-Smart Foundation also provided eggs and dried goods to pantries in Caloocan, Malabon, Manila, Navotas, Novaliches and Pasig.

All these efforts were made possible by Tulong Kapatid, the consortium of the foundations, companies and affiliates led by businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan.
