In an extraordinary celebration of its 500th Store Milestone, MR.DIY, the renowned retail giant, extended its reach to the heart of Panglao Bohol with a series of impactful initiatives under its Acts Of Kindness (AoK) program. This milestone event aimed to forge a stronger bond between MR.DIY and the community, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to social responsibility.

Volunteers from different organizations of Bohol: JCI Chocolate Hills, Francisco Dagohoy Eagles Club, Bohol-Panglao International Airport Police, and Bohol-Panglao Maritime Police joined MR.DIY’s environmental preservation initiative in the locale of Doljo, Panglao, Bohol

On February 11, Sunday, MR.DIY embarked on an environmental journey at Barangay Doljo, Panglao Coastline. Volunteers, embodying the spirit of community engagement, planted 1,500 mangrove seedlings to contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment. Simultaneously, a beach clean-up initiative unfolded, adding a tangible positive impact to the coastal ecosystem. The day concluded with a beach rally game, fostering camaraderie among the volunteers.

The Acts of Kindness program, an integral part of MR.DIY’s CSR initiatives, traces its origins to the Good Bag Campaign. The program operates through four pillars: Protection and Preservation of the Environment, Family Welfare, Education, and Youth Development. The Good Bag Campaign, where the community can actively participate, symbolizes MR.DIY’s commitment to driving positive change.

The financial contributions from MR.DIY’s CSR initiatives are channeled through the sale of eco-bags, a tangible and sustainable way for customers to contribute to the community. With every ₱7.00 purchase of a reusable eco bag at MR.DIY, ₱1 is donated to partner organizations, further fueling the positive impact of the Acts Of Kindness program.

As of last year, MR.DIY proudly donated 2.2 million to NGO partners through the Good Bag Campaign and AoK Program. This commitment to community service continues to grow as MR.DIY expands its footprint into new communities, solidifying the meaningful connections it builds with the people it serves.

In summary, the 500th Store Milestone Celebration in Panglao Bohol marks not just a numerical achievement for MR.DIY but a significant step towards building stronger, more resilient communities through Acts Of Kindness. As MR.DIY continues to grow, so does its commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
