Carlos Hilado Memorial State University launched a donation campaign to aid the families affected by the midnight fire that razed homes and properties in Barangay 27, Bacolod City, on September 12, a press release from CHMSU said.
In response to the tragedy, the university is calling on the compassion and generosity of its community through the CHMSUyanihan: Pagtabang sa Nasunugan initiative, which will run from September 12 to 19, aimed at extending aid to 208 affected families or 840 individuals.
Members of the CHMSU community, along with stakeholders and partners, are encouraged to contribute by dropping off in-kind and cash donations at any of the CHMSUyanihan booths located in the Alijis, Binalbagan, Fortune Towne, and Talisay campuses.
Items most needed include toiletries and hygiene products, household essentials, non-perishable food, and clean drinking water.
