In response to the urgent call for relief assistance and humanitarian support from our fellow Mindanaoans in South Cotabato and Sarangani, the University of Southern Mindanao (USM)—through a unified effort of the Extension Services Office (ESO), National Service Training Program (NSTP), and the University Volunteers’ Club (UVC)—is calling for donations and voluntary assistance to support the June 8 earthquake survivors.

A devastating Magnitude 7.8 earthquake has deeply affected our kababayans in South Cotabato and Sarangani Province. As a community anchored in service, USM is stepping up to answer the call of our youth leaders on the ground, leveraging our collective strength to gather critical resources and voluntary assistance.

To align with the specific relief needs requested by our volunteers on the ground, we are humbly appealing for the following donations:

• Clean Drinking Water
• Food Packs (Rice packs, canned goods, instant noodles, etc.)
• Clothing (Clean, usable clothes in good condition)
• Hygiene Kits (Soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary items)
• Sleeping Essentials (Banig, blankets, and pillows)
• Cash Assistance (For hot meals, emergency medical care, and temporary shelter logistics)

To streamline our collection before we turn over our donation to our partner volunteers, please drop off your donations at the Extension Services Office (ESO) Building, USM Main Campus.
Should you wish to donate through GCash or Maya, please drop us a message so we can send our account details or QR code.

We will be accepting donations until noon on June 17.
