How to Drop Off Donations

New York City, NY. The best way to contact Rain Love on Manila volunteers especially regarding drop-off arrangements is through emailing rainloveonmanila@yahoo.com. The Facebook group is also a venue to post inquiries regarding drop-offs, and to learn about what else is Rain Love on Manila doing. Please look for us at http://www.facebook.com/groups/rainloveonmanila/.


The main number for leaving SMS messages is 646-820-3327, within the US.

Right now these are the 3 locations for the drop-offs:

If it is from NYC - 182-25 Wexford Terrace, Midland Manor, Jamaica NYC 11432. Volunteer Deb handles this location. Times and dates of the drop must be coordinated through email.

If it is from London - 165 Metro Central Heights 119 Newington Causeway London UK SE1 6BT
Volunteer Pat handles this location. Times and dates of the drop must also be coordinated through email.

If it is from LA - 14423 Hamlin Street, Van Nuys, CA 91401. Volunteer Ritz handles this location.
Monday through Fridays, between 9-5pm, someone can receive the packages. But prior arrangement must be made through email. Please indicate that drop-offs are meant for Ritz Calvo.

All the care packages collected from these locations will be shipped via LBC to the address in Manila: 8100 C. Raymundo Avenue, Caniogan, Pasig City 1600. From here, it will be turned over to the Philippine National Red Cross.

In LA or UK, if people have filled more than 1 box of LBC, and wish to drop it off at LBC directly (as they also handle distribution straight to Red Cross), donors may request a copy of the Rain Love on Manila logo to be stuck to the box, for identification. It is advisable to email RLOM a list and also to print a list of contents along with the packages that the donors will drop off, so that all items will be accounted for.

Thank you for helping us help each other out!
