VMC conducts medical mission, distributes food assistance

Victorias Milling Company gave out food packs and health and hygiene kits to more than 500 households and served almost 300 patients during their medical mission in Barangay 13, Victorias City last weekend.

VMC President Linley Retirado led the distribution of food packs which to date has totalled to over 2,500 packets consisting of rice, alcohol and face masks to three barangays.

Retirado said this is part of their community service to their constituents which they have been doing regularly in close coordination with the local government units, both at the city and barangay levels.
He also thanked the city government for their support to their Barangay Clinic last June 9 by augmenting their medical staff with doctors from the Victorias City Health Office.

“The Barangay Clinics initiative was launched in 2020 during the pandemic to help community members cope with limited access to doctors and medicines due to COVID restrictions. We sustained this initiative even after the pandemic and we will continue to conduct this, at least, on a quarterly basis,” Retirado said.
He also thanked Victorias City Mayor Javier Benitez for acknowledging VMC’s effort in extending assistance as well to more than 2,000 households in Barangay 13.

Retirado said that VMC will continue with their food packs distribution and assistance to barangays, that included over 230 food packs also given to residents of Brgy. Pasil in the Municipality of EB Magalona, 300 packs for Brgy. 6A (Villa Miranda) in Victorias.*
