AllHome Gives Back To Communities In Agusan Del Norte

The Villar-led AllHome has donated construction materials that were used to renovate chapels in Agusan del Norte last month.

AllHome was instrumental in repairing and renovating the Our Lady of Assumption Parish Convent; Birhen dela Paz Chapel in Barangay Cayatulog; Birhen sa Fatima Chapel in Barangay Bunga; and San Vicente Chapel in Barangay Bangonay, all in Jabonga, Agusan del Norte.

AllHome donated plywood, nails, paint, and other construction materials and turned them over to Caritas Manila which spearheaded the reconstruction projects.

AllHome, the country’s pioneering home improvement store, also supported Caritas Segunda Mana Donations-in-Kind Program, aimed at converting in-kind physical donations into cash. In return, the funds are used for its feeding and nutrition campaign.

Caritas Manila said the feeding programs address hunger and malnutrition in communities heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent typhoons. The beneficiaries included about 3,000 indigent families (15,000 individuals) in 15 identified feeding centers across Metro Manila.

Fr. Anton C.T. Pascual, executive director of Caritas Manila, extended his gratitude to AllHome for the donation of construction materials. Pascual also thanked AllHome for helping the foundation’s campaign to combat hunger and prevent malnutrition of indigent families and children in Metro Manila.

AllHome did not just help in rebuilding chapels, it also expanded charity by offering its services beyond its market – from schools to hospitals to houses of worship.

Helping the community

Camille Villar, president and CEO of AllValue Group that handles operations of the retail arm of the Villar Group, said the company is active in providing assistance to our underserved communities, especially in the countryside. “Whenever we can, we reach out to communities that need help in terms of reconstructing their homes, particularly, during calamities. It has been part of our corporate responsibility,” Villar said.

AllHome president Benjamarie Therese Serrano said the company is committed to giving back to the community – owing this to the vision of Villar Group chairman Manny Villar.

“AllHome has been in the forefront of making beautiful homes for about a decade. Along with this, it has always been ready to give back to our communities which need help,” Serrano said.

AllHome Builds, the company's socio-corporate arm, has recently bagged the bronze award during the 2023 Stevie Awards for Women in Business under the category for Community-Involvement Program of the Year for Women-owned and Women-led Organizations.

AllHome's first store was launched in 2013 in Pampanga. Its product categories include furniture, hardware, appliances, tiles and sanitary wares, homewares, linens, and construction materials.
