Some of Philippine Red Cross’ (PRC) facilities— warehouses and training and events centers— are now up for rent.
PRC said this is “another opportunity for organizations and private companies to contribute to its mission to save lives as it opened its facilities for public use.”
“From an appeal for a hot meal to an appeal for shelter, livelihood, and medical assistance, PRC provides support to communities affected by disasters, emergencies, and conflicts. This is why we are creating an opportunity to organizations and companies to contribute in our humanitarian mission by offering our most valuable assets,” Richard Gordon, PRC chairman, said.
As per PRC, facilities—Events and Training Hall and the Logistics and Multipurpose Center in Mandaluyong City, the Logistics and Training Center in Subic, the Regional Logistics and Disaster Management Training Center in Passi, Iloilo, and the Training Center in Tagaytay—are up for rental for a reasonable price.
Also, the humanitarian body said it will soon offer its vocational training centers in Subic and Tacloban, as well as its warehouses in Mandaluyong, Subic, Laoag, Batangas, Mandaue, Passi, Tacloban, and Cagayan de Oro.
“Funds generated from the assets will be used to fuel PRC’s humanitarian projects, such as training of volunteers and staff members and providing first aid and lifeline kits, hot meals, and relief packs during emergency situations, through its major services—Blood, Disaster Management, Safety, Health, Welfare, Red Cross Youth, and Volunteer.”
