1in3out is based in Orange, CA USA with contacts in Quezon City, Philippines. Continuing a decades-long family tradition, we are using social media as a way to help some of the poor people of our Mother Land.
From our base of operations in Orange, we have received donations from as far as Florida. The majority of our donations are from Los Angeles and Orange County, known to have the biggest concentration of Filipinos living outside of the Philippines.
The clothes are then sorted out and boxed. We use LBC Express for shipping boxes and services. We ship a total of 6 Extra Large boxes a month with a turnaround average of 5 weeks.
Our Quezon City contacts will receive the boxes and will start sorting out the clothes based on gender and age. A pre-determined location will be the site of distribution based on what that location needs.
1in3out is not affiliated with any local government organization. We are not workin with any middle men. No politics. No red tape. No corruption. We trek to the distribution sites and hand these donations out ourselves. What you donate is what we hand out. We will provide 100% transparency on how we conduct business. Every action is documented through photos and videos that we will try to post in our network, including "shoutouts" to our donors. Even receipts is available upon request.
We are more than happy to share information on how you can help our cause and how to give us donation. We would love to talk. Connect with us!

Batch28: Mobile Distribution V
Homeless in the Philippines.
Unlike in the US, government support for the homeless is very limited. No tax benefits or resources. A few fundraisers. Scarce housing programs and no soup kitchens. The poorest of the poor in a third-world country known for corruption and poverty, these homeless rely heavily on the generosity of those walking-by, who has grown accustomed to their presence.
On side walks and alleys. Under stitched tarps or on flattened cardboard boxes. Begging for food or money. Taking refuge where darkness or exhaustion led them to. Only to wake up next day and re-live an eternal loop of poverty and hardship. Some are on their own. Others with families. We saw a couple and their young baby, with the mother visibly pregnant. There was a young girl tethered to a pole inside a tent, with an obvious sign of mental illness. Some with physical disabilities and uncared medical conditions.
We started our fifth Mobile Distribution in China Town by Binondo Church, an area known for it’s many businesses and side hustles. And ending our day at Roxas Blvd. near Rizal Park and Bay Walk surrounded by historic tourist spots. Unlike our usual monthly outreach in small communities, our mobile distributions takes us to the streets and be close and upfront with the people we are helping. As with our previous mobile distributions, this experience was quite an emotional revelation.
We handed them food and drinks. Ethika undies for the kids. Hanes undies for the women. 7 Sprayer hats. We want to give them hope. And at least 1 meal they don’t have to worry about.
As always, our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors who made this outreach a success.
