FRONTLINE FEEDERS

“What can we do to help?” This was top of the mind for Millie Reyes and Karla Reyes, the mother-daughter team who runs The Plaza Catering, when the quarantine measures set in. Almost as if on cue, Ros Juan of Commune Cafe reached out to Karla, asking for help in getting meals delivered to the frontliners at Makati Medical Center. Juan was also soliciting support for this initiative; her Facebook post quickly went viral, and many responded with the intent to help. Recognising that they would be able to help more people by pooling their resources, the group fused into the Frontline Feeders. The influx of assistance allowed them to expand operations to 10 other hospitals, as well as come up with monetary donations to purchase PPEs and other medical equipment (which is handled by Gang Badoy Capati of RockEd). The initiative continues to snowball as more volunteers come forward to help.
