In celebration of its 500th store milestone, retail giant MR.DIY extended its reach to Panglao, Bohol with a series of initiatives under its Acts of Kindness (AoK) program. This milestone event aimed to forge a stronger bond between MR.DIY and the community, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to social responsibility.
MR.DIY embarked on an environmental journey last Feb. 11 at Barangay Doljo, Panglao Coastline. Volunteers, embodying the spirit of community engagement, planted 1,500 mangrove seedlings to contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment. Simultaneously, a beach clean-up initiative unfolded, adding a tangible positive impact to the coastal ecosystem. The day concluded with a beach rally game, fostering camaraderie among the volunteers.
The company also extended its reach to the Bolod Elementary School. The educational initiative included the distribution of 500 school kits to as many students, coupled with assorted household products for the school.
Meanwhile, at Barangay Danao, the wellness impact unfolded with MR.DIY’s dedication to community health. Two hundred beneficiaries received essential medical services while 300 others benefited from optical care. This reflects MR.DIY’s holistic approach to community well-being.
The Acts of Kindness program, an integral part of MR.DIY’s CSR initiatives, traces its origins to the Good Bag campaign. The program operates through four pillars: environmental protection and preservation, family welfare, education, and youth development. The Good Bag campaign, where the community can actively participate, symbolizes MR.DIY’s commitment to driving positive change.
The financial contributions from MR.DIY’s CSR initiatives are channelled through the sale of ecobags, a tangible and sustainable way for customers to contribute to the community. With every ₱7.00 purchase of a reusable eco bag at MR.DIY, ₱1 is donated to partner organizations, further fueling the positive impact of the Acts of Kindness program.
As of last year, MR.DIY proudly donated 2.2 million to non-government organization partners through the Good Bag campaign and AoK Program. This commitment to community service continues to grow as MR.DIY expands its footprint into new communities, solidifying the meaningful connections it builds with the people it serves.
In summary, the 500th store milestone celebration in Panglao, Bohol marks not just a numerical achievement for MR.DIY, but also a significant step towards building stronger, more resilient communities through Acts of Kindness. As MR.DIY continues to grow, so does its commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
