Landers, the country’s fastest membership shopping
establishment, capped off the pandemic and eventful year 2020, with a
continuing series of community outreach and relief missions to help those badly
affected by crises.
Right before the Christmas season, Landers partnered with
the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to launch its #UlyssesPHAid relief
effort which provided donations to affected areas, where Landers members and
non-members dropped off their donations at Landers branches in Metro
Manila. Donations included water, canned
goods, clean clothes, slippers, personal hygiene items, face masks and shields,
blankets, pillows, sleeping mats, noodles, milk, diapers, and over-the-counter
medicines, among others. The relief effort has provided aid to a total of 1,591
families across calamity-affected areas. 600 families in Rodriguez and Tanay,
Rizal, 500 families in Cagayan de Oro, and 491 families in Isabela were aided
through the relief effort.
But even before the typhoon, Landers has already been
reaching out to the community all year long. It started with the launch of Help
Taal which provided aid to the victims of the Taal volcano eruption. Landers
also initiated several efforts to help vulnerable families and communities
during the COVID-19 lockdown. These include distribution of food packs to
several hospitals, the Pantawid ng Pag-ibig partnership with ABS-CBN, and the
Share the Hope campaign, among others.
With the start of the new year, everyone is optimistic that
life will be back to normal this 2021. As many hold on to this hope, Landers
will remain one with the community through all the prosperity and hardships
that this year will bring.
