The Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office VII (DSWD-7) is in need of volunteers to help in the repacking of family food packs in preparation for any disaster that may happen.

“We are calling for volunteers whether you are a private individual or from an organization to help us in fast tracking our repacking of relief goods,” said DSWD-7 Regional Director Ma. Evelyn Macapobre.

Director Macapobre added that the DSWD Field Offices have a stockpile of 30,000 family food packs ready for immediate delivery upon request from the concerned Local Government Unit (LGU).

“There is no shortage of supplies, but the agency anticipates more demand as we also augment other regions that’s why we need help with the repacking,” said Macapobre.

DSWD-7 needs at least 60 on-call volunteers and it hoped that more men will join as volunteers.

Interested individuals and organizations can visit DSWD Field Office VII located in Brgy. Carreta, Cebu City and can look for Ms. Lilibeth Cabiara in order to sign up as a volunteer.

After signing-up, a volunteer orientation will be conducted before the deployment. ###
