McDonald’s joins Pilipinas Kontra Gutom movement through its Kindness Kitchens
McDonald’s Philippines strengthens its commitment to support communities as one of the founding members of Pilipinas Kontra Gutom.
Task Force Zero Hunger Chairman Secretary Karlo Nograles launched Pilipinas Kontra Gutom, a multi-sectoral partnership that aims to eradicate involuntary hunger in the Philippines. The movement enjoins government agencies, non-profit organizations, the academe, the private sector, and the public who share the common mission of addressing the root of the nation’s concern on involuntary hunger including challenges on food production, food distribution, and accessibility, hidden hunger and malnutrition, including immediate food needed during times of crises.
McDonald’s has always been ready to provide immediate assistance through meals for the communities where it operates. At the onset of Covid, it has activated its Kindness Kitchens through its charity of choice Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and has served more than 300,000 meals to front liners and communities in need.
“Serving the community has always been integral to McDonald’s and more so this time that many have been deprived of a basic need – food. This has become worse for many of our fellow Filipinos so we continue to be in solidarity with the government and our partners in the private sector in providing meals to families.” says McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO, Kenneth S. Yang.
In partnership with Coca-Cola, DOLE Philippines, Metrobank, and San Miguel Corporation, 100,000 meals from McDonald’s Kindness Kitchens will be served to communities in NCR and key cities starting this November.
