The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has called for more volunteers to help produce family food packs (FFPs) at its center in Pasay City, in preparation for relief operations for communities affected by Typhoon Tino.
According to the agency, volunteers are welcome at the Luzon Disaster Resource Center (LDRC) from Monday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with two shifts scheduled: morning (8 a.m. to 12 p.m.) and afternoon (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.).
‘Every helping hand contributes to saving lives and restoring dignity to disaster-stricken families. Volunteers contribute to DSWD’s ‘Buong Bansa Handa’ objective of ensuring the readiness of the Department, especially in the provision of relief assistance in times of crisis,’ DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao said in a statement on Tuesday.
Dumlao said the production of FFPs remains a priority to ensure the immediate distribution of relief goods to affected families, particularly in areas already bearing the brunt of the storm.
