Oct.31
- 10:30am-1:30pm @ SJBCI Building
Due to the overwhelming response from our FLOOD Drive from Oct.3, the Witness Ministry of SJBCI organized Operation Manila. This relief effort is the main branch that will handle all the incoming donations, communication, and distribution of goods.
The FLOOD Drive from Oct.3 was a huge success, having collected clothes, canned goods, vitamins, money, etc. But because of the overwhelming number of clothes donated, the committee created a more efficient way to handle the donations, in order to expedite the process of sending the donations. Additionally, due to the immediate need, we do stress giving monetary donations, as it will quickly provide for their specific needs.
If you are interested to donate (food, clothing, money), please review the following options:
