3. Tzu Chi Foundation
For over 50 years, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation has provided relief, medical care, and community services to those in need. They accept donations like clothes, boxes, and old appliances, which are distributed to impoverished communities. The foundation encourages donors to find spiritual happiness by inspiring love and humanity in their actions.
Get involved by visiting www.tzuchi.org.ph.
4. I Support the Girls MNL
If you have gently used bras or brand-new feminine hygiene products you no longer need, donate them to I Support the Girls MNL. This organization ensures that women in underserved communities have access to essential items like bras, tampons, and feminine pads. They maintain strict quality checks to ensure donations meet hygiene and safety standards.
Used bras should be clean and in good condition before donating.
Follow them on social media for donation updates or message them directly to coordinate.
