CEBU CITY, Philippines – Cebu Pacific has partnered with SOS Children’s Village Cebu to provide regular food donations to children.

The move aims to transform surplus pastries into a vital source of sustenance for vulnerable children and families under the organization’s care.

The initiative provides surplus pastries weekly from its Mactan catering facility to SOS Cebu.

The donations range from 100 to 300 pastries, providing a much-needed boost to the diets of 106 children and young people in SOS programs that also offer education, family support, and comprehensive care.

“Supporting SOS Children’s Village Cebu is about more than just providing food,” said Lei Apostol, CEB vice president for Customer Service Operations.

“It’s about empowering children to flourish while simultaneously championing sustainable practices. We believe that even seemingly small actions, such as repurposing surplus food, can create a significant positive impact.”

The program underscores Cebu Pacific’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, tackling both community support and environmental stewardship.

Its dedication to reducing food waste is a key component of the program.

Since 2017, Cebu Pacific has been actively donating pastries to the Pangarap Foundation, an organization for underserved youth.

In 2024, the airline solidified its commitment by partnering with Scholars of Sustenance (SOS) Philippines, formalizing a comprehensive program for surplus food donation.

As the sole local airline partner of SOS Children’s Village Cebu, Cebu Pacific aims to inspire the aviation industry to embrace responsible surplus food management and demonstrate the difference it can make in the lives of those in need.

The partnership highlights the airline’s dedication to not only connecting people through travel but also to contributing to the well-being of the communities it serves.
