Grab Philippines teamed up with the
Philippines Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and McDonald’s Kindness
Kitchen for its GrabBayanihan Program to provide support to communities
devastated by the recent Typhoon Carina. The initiative encourages all Grab
users to convert their rewards into donations, aiding the various projects run
by these three organizations.
Grab Philippines' Chief Operating Officer,
Ronald Roda, expressed, "Our entire Grab community is fully committed to
leveraging our technology and long-standing partnerships with various
organizations to support the recovery of calamity-affected communities,
especially in Metro Manila. We understand that recovery is challenging, but it
becomes more achievable with the support of our kababayans. This is the essence of GrabBayanihan – fostering a
sense of malasakit in all of us to
create powerful waves of not just aid, but hope.”
"We are grateful to our partners, the
Philippine Red Cross, and two of the largest fast-food chains in the
Philippines – Jollibee and McDonald's, for their collaboration in this
cause," added Roda.
Extending
a Helping Hand with Every Tap
Grab users, especially those subscribed to
GrabUnlimited, accumulate points with each transaction made on the Grab
platform. These points can be redeemed for rewards listed in the Grab Rewards
Catalogue. In a move to facilitate aid for victims of Typhoon Carina, Grab
Philippines has reduced the points required for donations towards the typhoon
response efforts of the Philippines Red Cross, Jollibee Group Foundation, and
McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen.
The initiative is active on the platform from
July 26 to August 29, 2024. During this timeframe, Grab users can contribute to
the partner organizations using their Grab Reward Points (GRP). A donation of
PHP20 to the organizations will require the use of 60 GRP. Similarly, a
donation of PHP50 will require 150 GRP, and to donate PHP100, users will need
to redeem 300 GRP.

Following a two-day donation drive involving
Grab and MOVE IT employees, as well as driver and rider partner communities,
hundreds of volunteers from these groups convened at the Grab & MOVE IT
Driver Center in Marikina from July 26 to 28. Volunteers assembled relief
items, including groceries, canned goods, bottled water, and toiletries, into
GrabBayanihan Care Packages.
The volunteers then distributed the care
packages across disaster-affected communities in Caloocan, Montalban, Rizal,
Malanday, Pasay, and Marikina, providing much-needed aid to over 2,500
families.
