The Barangay Council of Canitoan, Sangguniang Kabataan, staff, and youth volunteers came together to help satiate the hunger of their residents in a simple way.
A bowl of special arroz caldo was distributed twice a week from March 26 to April 16 until the relief goods from the government were given.
Making sure that they observed social distancing, they went house-to-house in their community to avoid any mass gathering.
The Barangay Canitoan Mobile Kitchen even reached the Filipino-Chinese community and the Mahogany Village in Zone 10.
The organizers considered this project a way of showing compassion to their residents during this time of pandemic.
Jozey Monsanto Gipulao, one of the organizers, wrote on a Facebook post: “Food is the language of family love. Our community is also our family.”
