Elivir’s Food Rescue 13 kg @ 4.5 points

Collection Details

We did a food rescue in Fairview collecting the following:

Item	Social Points
2 large boxes of chocolates	3
18 packets candies	0.5
9 Irish cream drinks	0.5
900 grams brocolli	0.2
9 packets broth cubes	0.1
1 kg sugar	0.2
1 packet banana	0*
250 grams cauliflower	0
500 grams sitaw	0
Total	4.5 points

*Zero points means the item cannot be eaten or are have less parts that are edible

We took public transportation, spending 90 pesos for 2 people taking 2 trips since the large boxes were bulky. The idea is to lower the money cost of doing food rescue in order to make it sustainable.

Beneficiary Details

We were supposed to give the collection to a charity group in a nearby squatter community. But our contact there was unavailable. He was afraid that distributing the chocolates without their group in place would lead to a crowd forming.

So we gave the food instead to the staff of a nearby restaurant and to some children along Commonwealth Avenue in Tandang Sora Quezon City.
