ASCCOM Multipurpose Cooperative (MPC) hosted a heartfelt event themed Kalinga ng ASCCOM Coop: Pag-asa ng mga Batang may Ibang Kakayahan at the AMPC Main Office in San Juan, Apalit. The initiative brought joy to 80 children with disabilities, aged 1-10, who face challenges ranging from autism, inborn polio, and blindness to epilepsy, deafness, and cancer. To meet the children’s unique needs, ASCCOM MPC provided special grocery packages with items like milk, oats, cookies, rice, and cash gifts to support their medical needs. The event offered a day of games, trick-or-treat goodies, and a supportive atmosphere, showing families that cooperatives are not only lending institutions but also pillars of community care. This initiative was funded through a charity fun run held on September 29, 2024 as part of ASCCOM MPC’s 34th anniversary celebration.
