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!

Batch6: Rosario, Cavite
1in3out’s Batch 6 donation distribution is one for the books as we became the first organization to conduct humanitarian aid to the Samahang Magdaragat.
We made our way to Barangay Muzon 1 in Rosario, Cavite, along the coastlines of Manila Bay, the hometown of this group consisting of local fishermen. Welcoming another organization was a new experience for most of them, especially strangers bearing gifts from abroad.
We coordinated with the Barangay Captain and group president to gather up members inside a hall. The men and women of the group filled the small room with their big, warm smiles as they welcome us with anticipation for the distribution.
The Philippines has the world's longest discontinuous coastline, where the fishing industry in a small town like Rosario has always been the main source of food and livelihood. Already facing problems with overfishing and water pollution, the pandemic has made life a little bleak for this town. They set sail early in the morning or leave net traps at night with the hope of a good catch to bring back to their families. With luck, they would sell their catch to the local market or fish port. Sadly, the quarantine made the industry scarce, and they have to make ends meet some other way.
With the combined efforts of the US and Philippine members of 1in3out, we gave donated clothes to 126 fishermen and their families. Hoping we set their sails to a brighter view of hope, and that things can get better soon. And surprisingly, after the distribution, they prepared us lunch consisting of rice and crabs. Despite most Filipinos' current living condition, appreciation towards generosity remains an unquestionable trait.
Thank you to all the donors and sponsors for being the bouy that lift and keeps us afloat. We are looking forward to the next mission. Message us if you can donate, sponsor or join us in the next distribution. Help us help them. Maraming Salamat!
