A food initiative for all
As a response to the recent coronavirus pandemic, region-wide lockdowns, and an increased need for food and relief in our marginalized communities, we started Walang Iwanan sa One Cainta (We are One Cainta. No one gets left behind).
In partnership with our local government and key stakeholders, we provide food and relief to at least 1000 people everyday.
Beyond food, we likewise work with various organizations and people to support our frontliners with PPEs, isolation tents, relief, and sanitation tents.

What We Do
We engage with organizations – corporations, NGOs, and foundations that provide us with food and relief to give to our marginalized communities. Distribution of goods are door-to-door.
We partner with restaurants that donate a daily number of packed meals either from their commissary kitchens or daily inventory surplus. Distribution of goods remain door-to-door
We maintain a General Donors Fund where cash donations are stored and used for the purchase of rice, canned goods, and other relief necessities for the communities.
As of May 2020

The Food Bank
In order to sustain our operations, make our town food system more circular, and reach more people, we are creating a food bank. This food bank features:
- End-to-end logistics handled by us
- Daily food quality and safety assurance
- Designed digital inventory monitoring and analytics system with a dual-marketplace interface
- Reduction of food waste x Increase in citizen nutrition and well-being
- Potential to be integrated into food waste management systems
Nutrition
During the pandemic and beyond, we ensure that regardless of socio-economic status, no one gets left behind in health, nutrition, and well-being. In Cainta, everyone eats.
Robustness, Sustainability, and Scalability
By carefully planning out our logistical operations and investing in digital inventory systems and technology, designing our system to be as circular as possible, as well as partnering with key stakeholders, we strive to ensure the sustainability and scalability of the program.
