Gourmet events raise over P600k for vulnerable families
Globe and Facebook community Fine Dining Club Philippines concluded a successful 11-day run of Gourmet Giving Series: A Fine Dining Thanksgiving Experience for the Hapag Movement, raising a total of P611,500 to support families experiencing involuntary hunger.
The event brought together top Metro Manila restaurants from Nov. 20 to 30 in a unique dining series that married epicurean delights with the spirit of giving. Participating restaurants donated a portion of proceeds from the event to the Hapag Movement, a Globe-led initiative that provides supplemental feeding and sustainable livelihood training to vulnerable Filipino families.
Alegria Manila, The Black Pig, Chef Jessie Rockwell Club, Ember, Flame by Discovery Primea, Gallery by Chele, Helm, La Cabrera, The Test Kitchen, Tiago’s Restaurant, Txoko Asador and Your Local served bespoke Hapag Movement menus to diners who were inspired to support the cause in time for the season of giving.
The Hapag Movement has raised an estimated P21.5 million since its launch last year, providing life-saving and life-enabling support to close to 70,000 Filipinos through supplemental feeding and livelihood training.
