Mindful of the challenges that many Filipino families face, J&T Express goes beyond offering delivery services and helping online businesses, by expanding its services to further help the Filipino people and launched their very own “J&T Pantry”. Inspired by the “Maginhawa Community Pantry”, J&T Express took the initiative on starting their own community pantry on its Muntinlupa Branch, April 21, 2021.
“Many Filipinos are grappling to survive during this pandemic. J&T Express believes that during these challenging times, it is important to stand strong and help one another,” said Zoe Chi, Vice-President of J&T Express Philippines. The J&T pantry was fully supported by its employees. On top of the items prepared by J&T Express, many of its team members chose to personally donate items, such as food and other basic essentials, to share with the community. This just shows how passionate the company and its employees on helping those who are greatly affected by the pandemic through simple act of kindness.
The first “J&T Pantry” was launched on J&T Express Muntinlupa branch, open from 9:00 AM onwards. It will be followed by J&T Express Pilar, J&T Express Las Piñas Branch, J&T Express Bernabe, J&T Express Parañaque branch, J&T Express Taguig branches and with other branches nationwide. J&T Express will continue to create its community pantry initiatives to its various branches in different parts of the country.
“We are very fortunate to work at J&T. Our income can support our families, but we are also worried about families who have lost their income due to the epidemic, so we organized this community pantry event to distribute food for free,” said Ella Opeda, Regional Key Accounts Manager of J&T Express Philippines.
A large number of items, from food to other basic essentials, are expected to be available on “J&T Pantry” for FREE to everyone who needs it. To those who would like to visit, wearing face masks and face shield is required. Strict compliance to IATF guidelines will also observed.
