CONTINUING its initiative to help COVID patients, the Pitmaster Foundation has donated P20 million worth of homecare kits that will benefit 17 local government units in the National Capital Region.
“This is just part of the initiative the foundation is doing to avoid COVID lockdowns, help our health workers, and protect small businesses,” said Atty. Caroline Cruz, the foundation’s executive director.
Cruz said the marching order of the foundation’s chairman, Charlie “Atong” Ang, is to help LGUs in the NCR in their fight against the deadly virus in line with the government’s COVID-19 response program.
Pitmaster has been one of the leading charitable institutions in town. Its door has been open for various requests for help and the quick release of the homecare kits was its response to the requests forwarded by NCR mayors.
Each homecare kit contains lagundi herbal medicine, vitamin C plus Zinc, Lola Remedios syrup, digital thermometer, facemask, paracetamol, bactidol, alcohol, and pamphlet on how to avoid COVID-19.
The beneficiary mayors have promised to distribute the kits to their constituents after receiving them.
The Pitmaster Foundation had earlier donated P50 million cash and P50 million worth of antigen test kits to NCR LGUs in its effort to complement the government’s program to stop the rampaging virus in thickly populated areas, notably Metro Manila.
