Community pantries in the Philippines

[Bubu]

Community pantries are being set up everywhere in the Philippinnes. The idea is for the can afford to give what they can and for the needy to get what they need.

"Ana Patricia Non, 26, recently set up a shelf with groceries for those who have been jobless and hungry during Covid-19, sparking a nationwide trend"

Cool, I saw some here in Thailand, mostly in Bangkok, but also in small town like the one I live, restaurant owners are doing it in order to help. It is a great demonstration of the human character.
