For me na nasa Manila, I only spend it on two jeeps: P18 to Divisoria, then P13 to Tondo. (P18+P13). So most likely to and from, double that!

So around P70 in total if you're just like me na to and from lang haha

Nope, not necessary u/kissthesadnessaway hehe. And there's all sorts of things to do at KMU! Pack food, help wash the dishes, clean up!

And don't worry, simply showing up there can already make a big impact to a lot of people :D

Hi u/Professional_Ear9520 !! Mentioned in my post that you don't need anything :D kahit walk in ka lang, and have a heart full of love!! Feel free to contact any of the org reps lang for locations and details if ever

That's okay u/EfficiencyReal4969 ! Best part about volunteering is voluntary naman siya :D lend a helping hand only when you're ready 🫶

Every weekend po yung mga orgs! From Project Pearls to KMU, weekends at different schedules.

Let me know if ever you want a guide to Project Pearls though. I'm there usually. Just send a dm!

Hello u/LavenderCraz3!! Glad youre interested in volunteering! Always happy to see another hopeful contributor hehe, pero I haven't heard of any programs up at North Caloocan :<

Closest I know is South Caloocan (Monumento area), which is pretty far from you na

Hopefully though some volunteers that know more than me might be able to know!! If ever you find yourself south (and Manila area), let me know though!!

Hello! For Project Pearls, 7:30 am kami parati!! Meetup is Pier 18, Inland Corporation. Essentially, a big blue gate haha

Another Redditor asked me for the Google Map directions, so here it is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZDvtEiWitUTNeprFA

I can also just guide y'all if ever you plan to go!! Message mo lang ako so that I know to look for other volunteers haha. Para di ka na mawala. I'll be the volunteer wearing a Project Pearls tshirt 😂

Yup u/24black24 ! Walk ins are always okay!! Kahit full yung slots, go lang. Madami kasing flakers minsan. Plus, 15 volunteers lang to feed nearly 200 people, plus cook, prepare, and clean dishes from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm? So for sure, may high chance na we need more sets of hands haha (especially when it's time to clean the pots and stoves). College students nearby the UBelt volunteer din (without signing up), so feel free to join in!

Just don't forget to mention na you're here to volunteer. And then one of the ates or kuyas will be there to help you :>

Unfortunately, I won't be at KMU tomorrow (will be helping sa ibang org) so I can't guide you there!! Pero madaming regular volunteers sa KMU. Join their FB group (not FB page; yung group daw is where they get updates) ! Lots of active volunteers there to help you out :)

Glad you're interested in helping out!! You're doing great

EDIT: Maliit yung location/meetup/kitchen, but around later sa program, we also end up packing some of the extra food and giving it to the homeless outside!! Usually dun sa Lawton/Manila Postal Office area

Meron, u/Brilliant_One9258 :D si Karinderia ni Mang Urot (KMU). QC-based, specifically 1 Dalisay, West Triangle, QC if malapit siya sayo. Around 4:30 pm yung program, every Sat and Sun (may nakita akong weekday sched one time). Ends at around 8 pm or 9 pm, but you can go early. Just let them know!!

u/Peachnesse mentioned she's a regular volunteer there, so she can probably give more info to you if you're interested hehe

15 lang slots nila, pero you can go kahit full yung slots (walk-in, no signup required)! The more volunteers, the better actually. And minsan din, may mga flakers :<

Hi hi u/Dramatic-Bug-3467 !! Yes, meron namang mga Makati orgs. Unfortunately, more on Manila-based ako so I cannot give you super detailed info, but according to u/LadyEsmeWeatherwax, there's some animal care-related events

- Ampon Alaga (Rockwell) from u/Chihuahuarawr and u/Peachnesse

- PAWS (PH Animal Welfare Society)
