LIST: Community Pantries Within Metro Manila

After the citizen-led Maginhawa Community Pantry went viral on social media, this initiative snowballed into more Filipinos starting community pantries all over the Philippines. This has shown the community’s willingness to help those who are in need, especially during a lockdown where livelihood is affected and has left thousands of Filipinos unemployed.

The signage you can find at most of the community pantries is the “Magbigay ayon sa kakayahan, Kumuha batay sa pangangailangan,” which means a person should only donate within one’s means and get only what you need. It’s a system based on trust.

If you want to donate or if you’re in need of food, these are the different community pantries in Metro Manila:
