Let’s Cook, Pare! the country’s fastest growing home cook community in Facebook, awarded two lucky members with a Livelihood Starter Package each worth over P50k as it celebrated its second anniversary.
The livelihood starter package will help two of the community’s members, Zoilo Binag and Lorie Banila Jogno, start their respective home-based business to augment their income during this challenging time. They were chosen in a live raffle draw from among over seven thousand entries.
Let’s Cook, Pare! was created in August 16, 2018 by Jeff Chua and Archie Chua, who both share the same passion about food. The creators wanted to form a community where people can share their home-cooked recipes, that were either original, passed on from generations, or inspired by others. They were later on joined by friends and family members. Five admins, among them entrepreneurs, Jeff and Vince Chua of the Bigbert’s Professional Detailers; Archie Chua of Crystal Lamps; Liberty Insurance executive, Bobet Arandia, and Tsaris Salgado, an experienced PR and marketing professional, oversee the community. The community believes in sharing of knowledge and information. It promotes positivity and positive reinforcement.
During the ECQ, the group’s membership soared to more than 90,000 from 10,000. The Let’s Cook, Pare! community became a creative outlet for its members and allowed them to get connected outside of their homes. The members actively participated in community discussions and shared their home cooked meals, taking advantage of a platform that allow them to flex their ‘creations’ and enjoy their dreams of living a ‘chef-life’.
Aside from helping its members, the LCP was also able to help the country’s SMES and some corporate brands because of its accessibility online where they were able to sell food and other relevant kitchen/home cooking appliances, items, etc. A number of members here and abroad likewise shared that recipes they got from the community inspired them to start their own food selling business that allow them to have an alternative source of income. To date, the community has around 200 individual sellers from all over the country and a few overseas.
Corporate brands support LCP’s vision and sponsor weekly giveaway contests that helped sustain a continuing active engagement in the community.
For its second anniversary Livelihood Starter Package giveaway, LCP partnered with Nestle Professional, Nestea House Blend, Maggi Professional, Tocoms Philippines, Inc. for Russel Hobbs, Masflex Philippines, McCormick, Arla, CDO, Lemon Square, Tecnogas Technik, All About Coffee, and Hunts.
