Ford Global Caring Month in PH gives back to communities

MANILA: Ford Philippines rolled out the brand’s Global Caring Month with programs that give back to communities.

Last September, Ford employees, dealers, volunteers—alongside Gawad Kalinga, American Chamber Foundation, and new partner Cartwheel Foundation—conducted initiatives that revolved around elderly care, community development, education, social welfare, and youth support. 

The annual month-long tradition allowed volunteers to share their time, talent, and effort to turn their passion into purpose.
