foodpanda logistics donates over Php 5M to Carina-affected Ka-pandas

Delivery service provider foodpanda logistics is stepping up to support its delivery partners affected by Super Typhoon Carina with a donation of more than Php 5 million worth of food and essentials. This aid, part of the Panda Pag-asa program, aims to benefit around 10,000 of their Ka-panda delivery partners in severely affected areas such as Metro Manila, Cainta, South Metro Manila, Baguio, and Bulacan. 

As part of the initiative, their pandaPatrol: Hub on Wheels, originally used to serve as a rider support hub, will roam through these target cities, distributing essential relief items such as water, rice and canned goods. “Our Ka-pandas are always in our minds and hearts. We strive to act quickly and effectively to provide relief to our heroes who are always ready to serve customers,” foopanda logistics Rider Experience Lead Ron Sanders stated.

Providing a needed boost in the aftermath of the typhoon

In the aftermath of the typhoon, which caused severe flooding in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces, delivery partners became crucial as residents relied on them for essential food and groceries. To support their efforts, foodpanda logistics has implemented a nationwide earnings boost to help Ka-pandas manage delays and challenges posed by the storm. 

foodpanda and Coca-Cola partner to refresh Ka-pandas

foodpanda’s grocery delivery arm, pandamart, has teamed up with the Coca-Cola Philippines to offer free refreshments to freelance delivery partners. This special initiative is designed to coincide with the Father’s Day season, providing a refreshing treat to Ka-panDADs who tirelessly ensure that food and grocery orders reach customers on time.

Starting June 16, every Ka-panda delivery partner with active pandamart orders will receive free bottled drinks. The ‘Ka-panda Father’s Day Treat’ aims to help Ka-panda delivery partners stay hydrated and energized as they go about their daily routes.

The first leg kicked off at the pandamart warehouse in Pasig. Delivery partners expressed their gratitude as they received free drinks, sharing stories of how this simple treat makes a big difference in their delivery routines. 

“Talagang doble kayod kami para sa pamilya, kaya nakakatuwang may libreng drinks din kami para ma-refresh naman sa bawat biyahe. Nakakataba ng puso na naaalala rin pala yung hirap naming mga delivery partners sa daan," shared Ferdinand Cruz, a Ka-panda for four years now.
