On Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, the Asan-Maina Mayor\u2019s Office continued their second day of food distributions to the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second day, they distributed 350 packages in total. Each package contained dried and canned non-perishable foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the items inside of the package included rice, pasta noodles, tomato sauce, and banana chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each distribution, the staff at the Asan-Maina Mayor\u2019s Office employed sanitization guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These measures ensured the safety of both the staff and the residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They had packs of gloves, masks, wipes and bottles of both hand sanitizer and alcohol ready at their station for the next exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These food distributions have been going on for months since the pandemic began. This event was part of the last wave of food distributions for October in the southern villages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Marie Toves, a staff member at the Asan-Maina Mayor\u2019s Office, these food distributions allowed for them to get to know the people in the village. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another staff member, Ben Untalan, adds on to how these distributions have assisted the community during these hard times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoing this is very good for the people,\u201d Untalan said. \u201cWith the crisis going on [with] COVID-19, people need help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
