SM Foundation provides relief to Typhoon Julian-hit communities

Following Ilocos Norte's declaration of a state of calamity in early October due to Typhoon Julian, SM Foundation activated its Operation Tulong Express (OPTE) to provide immediate assistance to over 750 families.


Employee-volunteers from SM City Laoag led the distribution of the Kalinga Packs containing essential items to affected families in the province.

 


OPTE, a collaboration between SM Foundation, SM Supermalls, and SM Markets, addresses community needs during calamities and crises. The program has distributed over 800,000 Kalinga Packs since its inception, supporting emergency response efforts across various situations. (SM Foundation)
