UPDATE (11/18/2011, 9:30 PM): As of 9 PM tonight, we have achieved our goal. I am at a loss for words. We can't thank you enough! May God bless you 50,000 times more!
Paglipon's ministry is not just about holiday food baskets though :-) If you'd like, you can also give donations to support their livelihood projects. We also encourage you to donate practical items that these families can use in their homes.
Thank you so much!!!

Last Nov. 11, we started an online fundraiser for the benefit of Paglipon ng Tao Mission-Ministry. We aimed to raise PHP25,000 so that we could give 50 food baskets for 50 poor families, filled with goodies they can use to prepare for themselves a nice Noche Buena meal. Within just 4 days, pledges for all 50 baskets had been made...and more are still coming in! As of this writing, we have raised over PHP45,000.
When the goal was exceeded, we realized that we can now also donate food baskets for New Year's Eve. We asked Paglipon about the food baskets that they usually prepare for Dec. 31 (they started doing this just last year, I think). Each Media Noche food basket also costs PHP500 and that includes:
[Donation details removed]
We also highly encourage you to, if you can, donate goods like household items (kitchenware, dinnerware, beddings, etc.), used/extra clothes, used/extra shoes/slippers of any size, toys, children's books, etc.
You can get more info about Paglipon at this link. Please contact me if you'd like to know even more and/or offer other kinds of support for Paglipon's ministry
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :-)

- 1 kg pancit canton
- 1 pack toyomansi
- Knorr broth cubes
- 1/2 kg chicken
- Carrots
- Pechay
- 1 kg pear ham
- 1 loaf of bread
We have carried over the "excess" from the Noche Buena fundraiser. It is equivalent to 40 Media Noche food baskets, which means that we'll need to raise funds for only 10 more baskets or PHP5,000 :-)
