In celebration of World Food Month, foodpanda Philippines is putting the spotlight on its community initiatives under “Let’s Do Our PAU-rt.” Through partnerships with national and local government agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), academic institutions, and local enterprises, the program aims to improve food accessibility, strengthen food security, and promote community development.
The initiative brought together partners across key areas in the country, including Metro Manila, Tuguegarao, and Cebu, to extend support to vulnerable communities through food assistance, livelihood opportunities, and food rescue efforts. These activities contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
Through its Donor for the Day activities with Walang Gutom Kitchen in Pasay and Cebu, foodpanda provided assistance to individuals in street situations. The company also worked with Taguig Kakanin Cooperative, Simbayanan ni Maria Multi-purpose Cooperative, and the Department of Trade and Industry – National Capital Region (DTI NCR) through pandamarket to help support local cooperatives and merchants.
Other community efforts included kitchen volunteering activities with Scholars of Sustenance Philippines and the Quezon City Social Services Development Department, which helped bring ready-to-eat meals to foodpanda delivery partners and child development centers in Quezon City. The initiative also provided food voucher assistance to persons deprived of liberty at BJMP Makati City Jail. In addition, foodpanda supported the Hapag-Pag-Asa Program of the University of St. Louis in Tuguegarao City.
“At foodpanda, we believe that making life delicious goes beyond delivering food—it also means helping make food more accessible to communities that need it most. Through ‘Let’s Do Our PAU-rt,’ we are proud to work alongside our partners to support vulnerable communities, strengthen local livelihoods, and contribute to efforts that address food insecurity. These initiatives reflect our commitment to creating meaningful impact beyond World Food Month and reaffirm the importance of collaboration in building more resilient communities,” said Leopoldo De Castro Jr., Finance Director at foodpanda Philippines.
Through “Let’s Do Our PAU-rt,” foodpanda continues to bring its Making Life Delicious commitment beyond food delivery. By working closely with partners, the company aims to respond to community needs through food assistance, livelihood initiatives, and collaborative efforts that help make food more accessible to those who need it most.
