GrailsLife: Sitio Tibag

We have partnered up with GrailsLife for a unique and different kind of distribution. GrailsLife is an online-based group of shoe collectors raffling and selling collectible kicks in their private Facebook group (invite only). They are also known to host fundraisers to provide for various Southern California non-profit organizations such as the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House. “Together we can all make a difference.” With such slogan, a collaboration with them is bound to happen.

​

GrailsLife held a fundraiser last December that collected $1355 for 1in3out. That’s enough to fully fund a community outreach tailored specially for the kicks-theme lifestyle of GrailsLife and its members. 100 pairs of customized rain boots and 100 relief bags were distributed to some of our kababyans in Sitio Tibag, a small town in Montalban, Rizal. A little over an hour east of Manila. The boots came printed with GrailsLife’s logo. Eco-friendly bags were also printed with our logos and a bible verse. Each bag contained 2 kilos of rice, 4 packs of ramen noodles, 3 cans of corned beef, 1 can of sardines, 10 packs of coffee and 5 packs of chocolate powder.

​

Another successful distribution in the books! We would like to thank GrailsLife for this amazing project. To all its members and those who participated in the fundraiser, rest assure that every cent went to a worthy cause. We hope this is the first of many collaborations between our organizations, and set an example to others who would wants to “Help Us Help Them.”

Batch39: Mobile Distribution VII (Christmas Edition)

LogoWhiteOnBlack_edited.jpg

This year’s Christmas Mobile Distribution took us to Araneta Avenue where a fair amount of homeless calls the sidewalks and medians their home. Connecting Quezon City and San Juan, the avenue is known for the many funeral home businesses that are set up in its 5km stretch. Visible are the less-fortunate individuals and families who set up their carts, tarps and cardboards providing them makeshift walls and roofs. The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 covers the entire avenue providing them shade from the tropical sun and keeping them dry from the monsoon rain. At nightfall, the skyway provides bright lights in select areas of the street giving safety and security to those who calls the avenue their home.

​

A tradition we started last year, the second installment of the night time version of our Mobile Distribution features the colorful Christmas decorations, lights and parol (Filipino Christmas lantern) of the neighborhood. At the same time, highlighting the condition of the homeless population of the Philippines as they try to celebrate Christmas and New Year despite their usual daily struggles. We stopped by several spots to bring Christmas joy through burgers and juice to some who has yet to eat dinner. Or perhaps those having their first meal of the day. What we take for granted could be the highlight of their day. And maybe for a night, they can go to sleep not starving.

​

As we end 2024, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of 1in3out. The donors and sponsors who funded every outreach. The volunteers who spent their Sundays spreading joy. To everyone who has supported and believed in everything we did. MARAMING SALAMAT PO! We have big plans for 2025… stay tuned!

​

Maligayang pasko at manigong baong taon!
