A Community-Led Relief Drive for General Santos City and Sarangani Province

A powerful earthquake has shaken communities across General Santos City and Sarangani Province, leaving many families facing uncertainty and immediate needs. The devastation has been especially severe in the outskirts, where many workers from heavily damaged companies and their families reside. Even now, continuous tremors are slowing recovery efforts and adding to the challenges these communities face.

In times like these, recovery begins with neighbours helping neighbours.

Xenai Digital and Digital Alchemy are partnering with local community leader and chef, Chef Aries Lapuz, to provide urgent relief to those affected by the earthquake. Together with a dedicated group of chefs and volunteers from the province, Chef Aries is leading a relief drive to prepare quality meals, pack relief goods, and personally distribute support to those who need it most.

Our Commitment
Together, Xenai Digital and Digital Alchemy is raising funds to support this initiative.

Our goal is to provide packed lunches and relief goods to approximately 500 individuals affected by the earthquake. To expand the reach of this effort and ensure we can serve as many people as possible, we are seeking to raise PHP 200,000 through the generosity of our community and supporters.

What Your Donation Will Provide
Your contribution will help fund:

• Essential relief goods and food supplies
• Ingredients for freshly prepared packed lunches
• Packing materials and logistics for distribution
• Basic necessities for affected individuals and families

Chef Aries and his team of volunteer chefs are scheduled to begin the first batch of this relief operation on June 21 (Father’s Day in the Philippines)—a meaningful opportunity to bring nourishment, comfort, and smiles to families during this difficult time.

Transparency Matters
We believe generosity should be matched with accountability.

As this initiative is just beginning, there are currently no photos available. However, we are committed to sharing updates throughout the process. To ensure complete transparency, we will provide:

• Photos of relief preparation and distribution activities
• Photos with the target communities and volunteers
• Receipts for purchased relief goods and supplies
• Updates on how funds are used and the impact they create

Every donation, regardless of size, will help bring comfort, nourishment, and hope to people navigating the aftermath of this disaster.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your networks can make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for standing with the people of General Santos City and Sarangani Province.

Together, we can turn compassion into action.
