Dubai: The Filipino Social Club (Filsoc) in Dubai is set to host a special gift-giving programme on March 22.
Titled as “Filsoc Free Diaper Gifts,” the initiative aims to recognise the everyday sacrifices of mothers within the community.
“It is a time to honour the incredible strength of mothers. We’re standing with you in your journey,” said Filsoc.

How to get the free gift?
The drive will provide free diaper packs to the first 200 mothers who have signed up for the event.
According to the group, the beneficiaries will be directly contacted to receive the confirmation and venue details through email.
“It’s our way of saying thank you for the endless love and resilience you pour into our community,” stated Filsoc.
Celebrating Eid and women
Moreover, the move coincides with the spirit of generosity associated with Eid, as well as the international women’s month, a time to honour women’s contributions across all sectors.
Filsoc has emphasised that the event is rooted in compassion and solidarity, particularly for mothers who may need additional support, especially during these challenging times.
What’s up next?
Gulf News has reached out to Filsoc president Ericson Reyes to ask what other programmes are slated in the coming months.
Reyes has bared that they have also planned to conduct a larger-scale gift distribution targeting around 3,000 recipients but is still under consideration and has been temporarily put on hold.
Recently, Filsoc has conducted its “Hand-In-Hand” iftar meal distribution to workers in labour camps in Al Quoz, Dubai. The group has continued to express its commitment to volunteer and provide assistance to those in need.
