Grab Philippines teamed up with the Philippine Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen for its GrabBayanihan program to support communities affected by Typhoon Carina. The initiative encourages all Grab users to convert rewards into donations to aid various projects run by these organizations.
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.
If you’re a Grab user, especially if you’re subscribed to GrabUnlimited, points can be accumulated with each transaction made on the platform. These points can be redeemed for rewards listed in the Rewards Catalogue.
To help with the initiative and aid the victims of Typhoon Carina, Grab PH has reduced the points required for donations towards the typhoon response efforts of the Philippine Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen.
The initiative is active on Grab until August 29, 2024. Within this time, you can contribute to their partner organization using Grab Reward Points. A donation of PhP 20, PhP 50, and PhP 100 require the use of 60, 150, and 300 Grab Reward Points, respectively.
Aside from this initiative, Grab and MOVE IT employees, driver and rider partner communities, and volunteers held a 2-day donation drive in Marikina from July 26 to 28, 2024. They assembled frelief items including groceries, canned goods, bottled water, and toiletries into GrabBayanihan Care Packages. They then distributed the care packages across disaster-affected communities in Caloocan, Montalban, Rizal, Malanday, Pasay, and Marikina to provide aid to over 2,500 families.
