Clothes Donation Signifies Hope

Electrolux Philippines, a global leader in home appliances, in partnership with ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya and Mommy Mundo, an online portal of mom and family-focused resources, initiated the Clothes for Hope donation drive as part of its Wear Your Passion campaign to help the victims of recent calamities.

“It has been an unfortunate year for the Philippines as we braved through one natural disaster after another. From the earthquake that struck Bohol and Cebu to super typhoon Yolanda, these disasters have left thousands of families grieving for the loss of their homes and loved ones,” says Andrea Pionilla, Marketing Manager, Electrolux Philippines. “That is why through the Clothes for Hope donation drive, we aim to provide immediate relief to the victims by giving them the hope of a new beginning through freshly laundered clothes which will be delivered to them by Sagip Kapamilya,” Pionilla adds.

This holiday season, the entire nation is united in helping the victims of recent calamities recover from these tragedies. “Electrolux and Mommy Mundo have provided avenues for people to lend a helping hand by putting up a number of donation sites where people can drop off their pre-loved clothes, blankets, and towels,” adds Pionilla.

Those who wish to help can drop off their pre-loved items in any of the following donation sites: Electrolux Customer Service Hub, Makati City; Mommy Mundo Office, Pasig City; Numa Store, Quezon City; Alabang, Muntinlupa City; Promosphere Inc., Mandaluyong City; and Universal Promo Specialists, Inc., Mandaluyong City. Donations will also be accepted at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar on December 8, 2013 at the Rockwell Tent, Makati City.
