Caritas Manila’s Segunda Mana projects get a boost

In line with its commitment to uplift the wellbeing of Filipino communities through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, Metro Retail Stores Group, Inc. (MRSGI) has partnered with Caritas Manila to support the organization’s Segunda Mana project.

A fundraising program launched in 2007, Segunda Mana aims to collect in kind donations that will then be sold in charity outlets. The sale proceeds are used to fund Caritas Manila’s Youth Servant Leadership and Education Program (YSLEP) to sustain its educational financial assistance and servant leadership trainings to more than 5,000 underprivileged youth from all over the country.

To aid the program, MRSGI will have the Segunda Mana collection boxes located in select Metro stores in Luzon and Visayas, where customers can drop off their donations.  Items that are accepted include new and used apparel, footwear and accessories; repairable furniture, appliances, gadgets, and other electronics; and old stock or slow-moving inventory items.

MRSGI is the retail arm of Cebu-based Vicsal Development Corporation. Present in key cities in the Visayas, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Calabarzon and the Bicol Region, MRSGI operates 49 stores in the supermarket, department store and hypermarket formats.
