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!

Batch5 Update
From the homeless of Manila to the indigenous tribe of Bulacan, we visited an area called Punduhan ng mga Dumagat to check on how it’s people are dealing with this pandemic that has put lives on hold for over a year now.
From the Kabuwelan word for “hubad sa gubat” (naked in the forest), the Dumagats have lived and survived on the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain for centuries. The Punduhan (translated as “stop over”) was meant to be a temporary shelter for traveling tribes. They now reside in a 10 hectare property overseen by the National Power Corporation, mandated by the Philippine government to provide electricity to rural areas outside of the capital. Hours away from urban life, the Punduhan exemplifies the simplest form of living with the unpaved roads that lead to the community, to the bamboo huts that houses families, and it’s people always happy to welcome visitors.
The Dumagats secluded themselves from modernization, so they don’t fear a virus as much as they fear the scarcity of food, water, clothes or electricity in their daily lives. We handed them masks and reminded them to keep them on properly. Asking them to distance from each other was no easy task since they don’t practice that in their area. Still we handed them bags of clothes and packed meals, all provided by our generous donors from America and local friends. We all sensed those smiles behind the masks, enjoyed the laughter of the children, and love the appreciation in their eyes.
Once again, we would like to say THANK YOU to all the donors and sponsors that made this distribution possible. We have acknowledged you in our social media shoutouts, and even featured in this video. We are nothing without you guys. Thank you for helping us help them.
Spread the word. We are always welcoming new volunteers to join us in our distribution. Sponsors and donors are needed. Send us a message. Maraming salamat!
