SM FOUNDATION SETS BLOOD DONATION ACTIVITY IN SM CITY MINDPRO

SM Foundation Inc., together with SM Supermalls, will launch a blood donation activity in SM City Mindpro this month of September.

This social good effort of SM Foundation, SM Supermalls, and Philippine Red Cross will provide venues for SM employees, tenant and agency partners, and mallgoers where they can help extend thousands of lives by donating blood.

In SM City Mindpro, the schedule is set on September 29 and 30 at the Level 3 Vaccination Area near Ace Hardware and Surplus Shop at 10AM – 4PM.

In 2021, a total of 2,812 bags of blood were collected by SMFI which were utilized to save more than 8,436 lives. One blood bag donation can help save three lives as a whole blood donation can be separated into three components: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets.

Moreover, this activity is in support of the Republic Act No. 7719, the National Blood Services Act of 1994 which encourages and promotes voluntary blood donation to provide sufficient supply of safe blood.

The Season of Giving Begins at SM City Mindpro

The 100 Days of Happiness campaign of SM Supermalls was launched this month with the aim to help the marginalized sector and MSMEs who were hardly stricken during the pandemic.

In Zamboanga City, SM City Mindpro partnered with Department of Social Welfare and Development IX – Sustainable Livelihood Program Unit, where the latter was given the opportunity to sell their local and regional products free of charge. A portion of the proceeds will be given to the chosen beneficiary – the pupils from an indigenous learning center, Bihing Tahik Elementary School.

“DSWD Nueve is proud to take part in the 100 Days of Happiness, a Christmas initiative of SM Supermalls where we are given the opportunity to sell and promote the products of our livelihood beneficiaries and PWD clients”, shared DSWD IX SLP Department Head Ms. Evangeline Poquita.

Stationed at the Level 4 of SM City Mindpro, the booth will be selling food and non-food items from September 16 to December 15, 2022. Join us and support our locally-made products and help the learners of Bihing Tahik Elementary School.
