Grab Philippines teamed up with the Philippines Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and McDonald's Kindness Kitchen for its GrabBayanihan Program to provide support to communities devastated by the recent Typhoon Carina. The initiative encourages all Grab users to convert their rewards into donations, aiding the various projects run by these three organizations.
Two of the Philippines' largest fast-food chains and the Philippine Red Cross team up with Grab Philippines to make recovery easier for Filipinos
Grab Philippines' Chief Operating Officer, Ronald Roda, expressed, "Our entire Grab community is fully committed to leveraging our technology and long-standing partnerships with various organizations to support the recovery of calamity-affected communities, especially in Metro Manila. We understand that recovery is challenging, but it becomes more achievable with the support of our kababayans. This is the essence of GrabBayanihan – fostering a sense of malasakit in all of us to create powerful waves of not just aid, but hope."
"We are grateful to our partners, the Philippine Red Cross, and two of the largest fast-food chains in the Philippines – Jollibee and McDonald's, for their collaboration in this cause," added Roda.
Extending a Helping Hand with Every Tap
Grab users, especially those subscribed to GrabUnlimited, accumulate points with each transaction made on the Grab platform. These points can be redeemed for rewards listed in the Grab Rewards Catalogue. In a move to facilitate aid for victims of Typhoon Carina, Grab Philippines has reduced the points required for donations towards the typhoon response efforts of the Philippines Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and McDonald's Kindness Kitchen.
The initiative is active on the platform from July 26 to August 29, 2024. During this timeframe, Grab users can contribute to the partner organizations using their GrabRewards Points (GRP). A donation of ₱20 to the organizations will require the use of 60 GRP. Similarly, a donation of ₱50 will require 150 GRP, and to donate ₱100, users will need to redeem 300 GRP.
GrabRewards can be accessed via the Grab Homepage 'All' Button.
Fostering Resilience with the GrabBayanihan Spirit
Grab and MOVE IT driver and rider volunteers went to various communities heavily affected by Typhoon Carina to provide much-needed relief packages
Following a two-day donation drive involving Grab and MOVE IT employees, as well as driver and rider partner communities, hundreds of volunteers from these groups convened at the Grab & MOVE IT Driver Center in Marikina from July 26 to 28. Volunteers assembled relief items, including groceries, canned goods, bottled water, and toiletries, into GrabBayanihan Care Packages.
The volunteers then distributed the care packages across disaster-affected communities in Caloocan, Montalban, Rizal, Malanday, Pasay, and Marikina, providing much-needed aid to over 2,500 families.
