(Press Release) — Marianas Pacific Distributors Inc. or Marpac has donated a generous amount of beverages to the Ohala Foundation.
Ohala Foundation Chairman Phillip Mendiola-Long said, “We’re grateful for Marpac’s support. We are in need of these items and they’ll be included in our weekly family foodbox distributions. We’ve been able to distribute foodboxes to over 300 unique families over the course of 11 distribution events. That comes out to over 10,000 meals given to families in need.”
Foundation board member Ed Arriola Jr. added, “Companies like Marpac help us continue our goals and we want to thank their owners, their resident manager Guy Pudney, and the employees of this fine company for their generosity. The assistance given to us by private sector companies and non-profit groups help us to achieve our goals.”
The Ohala Foundation is launching a new “It’s Only .33 Cents Per Day Donation Drive,” which is equal to a commitment of just $10 per month to help feed families in need.
“We need 200 people to sign up and commit to just .33 cents per day to help these families in Tinian. We’re also in the planning stages to expand to Rota by May and Saipan by October,” Mendiola-Long said.
Interested donors can reach out to the foundation by visiting ohalafoundation.org or by calling 433-2664. To donate, visit ohalafoundation.org/donate
