PITMASTER Foundation continued with its initiative to help out Covid-19 patients by donating P20 million worth of homecare kits that will benefit 17 local government units (LGUs) in the National Capital Region (NCR).
“This is just part of the initiative the foundation is doing to avoid Covid-19 lockdowns, help our health workers and protect small businesses,” said Atty. Caroline Cruz, the foundation’s executive director.
According to Cruz, the marching order of the Foundation’s Chairman, Charlie “Atong” Ang, is to help LGUs in the NCR in its fight against the dreaded Covid-19 in line with the government’s Covid-19 Response Program.
Pitmaster has been one of the leading charitable institutions in town today. Its door has been open for requests for quite some time now and the quick release of the homecare kits was its response to the requests forwarded by NCR mayors.
Every 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, on the other hand, promised to distribute at once the kits to their constituents.
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 the NCR.
