The
SM Store gives back to those who needed the most through their various programs in 2016 and will continue to do so this year. It was a year of sharing for The SM Store and
SM Foundation when Donate-A-Book, Gamot Para Sa Kapwa and Share-A-Toy – gave customers the
opportunity to make a difference by donating school supplies, hygiene
kits, and toys. All of the donated items were given to schools, orphanages, hospitals, and day care centers around the country.
