Now on its fifth year, the annual outreach initiative “Gift of Love 2025” is set to bring joy and essential supplies to young learners in remote communities of Bulacan this December 6–7, 2025.
The program, organized by a volunteer-led group that began its mission in 2021, continues its tradition of giving back as a gesture of gratitude for the blessings received throughout the year. Organizers described the initiative as an ongoing effort to “practice the art of sharing” and to spread “happiness and love along the way.”
This year’s outreach will benefit 100 daycare students from Tubigan Daycare Center and Kamatis Daycare Center in Barangay Kalawakan, DRT (Doña Remedios Trinidad), Bulacan. After the two-day activity, volunteers will conclude the event with a camping trip and a small thanksgiving celebration.
Organizers are inviting more people to participate, noting that the spirit of the project thrives on community involvement. “Everyone’s welcome to join and volunteer,” they said, emphasizing their belief in the “the more, the happier” philosophy that has guided the project since its early years.
As in previous years, the outreach will provide students with school supplies, hygiene items, food, and other essentials. Among the requested donations are notebooks, pad paper, pencils, crayons, rulers, erasers, string bags, slippers, socks, umbrellas, and coloring books. The group is also collecting hygiene kits—including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, alcohol, and face towels—along with snacks, soup, sandwiches, candies, chocolates, juice, and cupcakes.
Monetary contributions are also welcome through GCash: 0905-626-8700, although the organizers emphasized a preference for donated goods to ensure that children receive complete sets of supplies. Donations will be accepted until December 2, 2025.
Organizers extended their gratitude to those supporting the mission, expressing hope that this year’s collective effort will once again uplift children in the community. “Thank you so much for helping us with this mission. God bless us all,” the group wrote.
