Malabon Red Cross holds 6th assembly
THE Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Malabon City Chapter held its sixth chapter assembly on Nov. 29, 2022 at the Rotary Club of Malabon Civic Center with the theme “Harvesting Opportunity for a Prepared and Engaged Community.”
The event is an annual opportunity to honor, highlight and report the powerful contributions of volunteers to the chapter’s activities and achievements.
PRC Chairman and CEO Richard Gordon expressed his appreciation for the staff and volunteers of the Malabon City Chapter.
During the assembly, the board of directors reported on the chapter’s activities and achievements, which support the goals of PRC’s different services.
The report stated that amid the decline of blood donors and blood donation activities because of the global pandemic, the chapter remained committed to PRC’s goal of delivering adequate, safe and quality blood supply to the most vulnerable.
From 2020 to 2022, it collected 2,095 blood units from 2,429 donors and dispensed 1, 959 units. The chapter also emphasized their successful vaccination drives against Covid-19, measles and polio.
Mayor and Honorary Chairman Jeannie Sandoval mentioned that the growing number of volunteers greatly contributed to the success of their activities.
The chapter also elected its new set of officers.
“The Malabon City Chapter is fortunate to have active volunteers. Let me applaud the staff and volunteers of this chapter for your dedication and commitment to alleviating human suffering and uplifting human dignity,” PRC Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang told the new set of board of directors.
