One of the heart-warming scenes witnessed by community pantry organizers in Marikina City was seeing tears of joy from people who can hardly make ends meet amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drawing inspiration from the Maginahawa Community Pantry, a group of young professionals in Marikina City came together for a noble cause—to build a community pantry for those who can no longer put food on their plates.
Cedric John Moneda, a web developer, and his friends Peter Ortiz, RJ Fe Guzman, and Shekinah Argudo started the Marikina Community Pantry located in Barangay Marikina Heights. All of them are in their 20’s.
