SM’s Shop&Share for Education Program Enriches Lives of 12,000 Filipino Students

SM Store Sta Mesa at San Juan Elementary School 

With the help of its patrons and in association with SM Foundation, World Vision, and SM Stationery (SSI), The SM Store has provided back-to-school kits to 12,000 students in grades spanning over 70 public schools across the country. These necessary supplies were given to 1,350 students at Mandaue City Central School, Mandaue City SPED Central School, Opao Elementary School, and Umapad Elementary School in Cebu. The turnover activity goes well with the 76th SM Store location that will soon open at JMall Mandaue.

Through the purchase of back-to-school kits, customers can now directly support underprivileged students thanks to the relaunch of SM Store's Shop & Share for Education program. Customers can support a child's education by purchasing a school kit for just PHP 100 at participating SM Stores with every minimum single-receipt purchase of PHP 3,000.

SM Store is dedicated to supporting students in realizing their goals, whether they are beginning a new academic year or are continuing their education. The program offers a simple means for customers to give back while highlighting the importance of social responsibility. Even though a PHP 100 donation might not seem like much, it has a big impact on the lives of children from underprivileged communities. This project demonstrates how, when motivated by a giving spirit, even modest contributions can result in significant change.
