Filipino low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific continues to support communities in need by partnering with SOS Children’s Village Cebu to provide regular food donations for children and families under their care.
Through this partnership, the airline will donate surplus pastries from its Mactan catering facility for those who need them the most.
SOS Cebu staff will collect the donations weekly, supplying approximately 100 to 300 pastries to 106 children and young people enrolled in programs that provide education, family support, and holistic care.
According to airline vice-president for customer service operations Lei Apostol: “Supporting SOS Children’s Village Cebu is about more than giving food. It’s about helping children thrive while promoting sustainable practices. Even small acts, like turning surplus food into opportunities, can make a real difference.”
An ongoing commitment
The initiative is part of Cebu Pacific’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to assist communities while reducing food waste.
Since 2017, the airline has donated pastries to the Pangarap Foundation, an organization that uplifts underserved youth.
Just last year, it expanded its commitment by partnering with Scholars of Sustenance (SOS) Philippines, formalizing a program to donate surplus food.
As the only local airline partner of SOS Children’s Village Cebu, Cebu Pacific hopes to set an example for the aviation industry by showing how surplus food can be managed responsibly while making a meaningful impact on society.
