At Nonki, we have always believed that a restaurant is more than a place to share meals—it is also a way to share hope with the communities that support us. Through the Nonki Maligaya Foundation, we continue our commitment to helping children gain access to the school supplies they need to pursue their education with confidence.
This year, we are proud to share another meaningful milestone in our journey of giving back. Through our annual school supplies outreach program, we were able to distribute school materials to 12,399 students across 48 public schools in Bohol, reaching even more children than we did last year.
This accomplishment is especially significant because it comes during a challenging economic period. Rising operating costs, inflation, and softer consumer spending have created difficulties for many businesses, including ours. Despite these circumstances, we remained committed to our mission of supporting education and investing in the future of our communities. Knowing that more than twelve thousand students will begin the school year with the supplies they need makes every effort worthwhile.
This initiative would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every member of the Nonki family. From our kitchen and dining teams to our managers and support staff across all our branches and brands, each person’s daily efforts help make programs like this possible. Their commitment extends far beyond serving great food. It reaches the classrooms and communities where these children are building their futures.
Most importantly, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our valued customers. Every meal you shared with us, every family celebration, every takeaway order, and every visit to any of our restaurants has contributed to this initiative. Your continued trust and support allow us to extend our reach each year and make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of students. These school supplies are not only a gift from the Nonki Maligaya Foundation. They are a reflection of the kindness and generosity of every customer who has chosen to dine with us.
We remain committed to continuing this effort in the years to come, helping even more students begin each school year with confidence and the tools they need to learn.
From everyone at the Nonki Maligaya Foundation, thank you for believing in our mission and for allowing us to serve not only great food, but also our community. Together, we are creating brighter opportunities for 12,399 students today and many more in the years ahead.
