    The San Miguel Community Foundation approved an extraordinary donation to several organizations whose income has decreased due to the global disease.

    Twice a year, the SMCF publishes a call for organizations to present clear ideas of projects or programs; however, due to the pandemic, the president of the Community Foundation, Donna Wilson, proposed to the board members the release of two million pesos to help some organizations to ease the burden of COVID-19.

    Among those benefiting are Amigos Al Cien, whose efforts are focused on purchasing food to help those who have lost their jobs and cannot afford food.
