Late Christmas Shopping? Globe and SMAC Allows You to Do Good

Christmas has come and gone but the late Christmas shopping continues, with people still flocking to the stores for their gift listing or personal needs. If you’re one of those last-minute shoppers, Globe and SMAC (SM Advantage Card) have some great news for you. You can now help put food on the table of underprivileged families while buying gifts for your loved ones.

Shop with Globe and SMAC

The loyalty card of retail giant SM is the latest supporter of the Hapag Movement, Globe Telecom‘s program against involuntary hunger.  So every purchase of a new SMAC means P50 will be donated to the Hapag Movement and other SM Foundation programs.

But that’s not all. SMAC members who shop at select stores, including the SM Store, SM Beauty, SM Appliance, Kultura, Surplus, Our Home, Baby Company, Crate and Barrel, Levi’s, The Body Shop, Forever21, Ecco, and Miniso will earn up to 1,000 extra SMAC points.

For the Hapag Movement

And the best part? Half of those extra points will be donated to the Hapag Movement from December 15, 2022, until January 15, 2023.

This pioneering partnership between Globe and SMAC is a great opportunity for shoppers to share their blessings with the most vulnerable Filipinos, which is what Christmas is all about.

“Millions of Filipinos are suffering from involuntary hunger. By getting a SMAC or shopping at participating stores, you can help provide meals and assistance to those who are struggling. It’s a simple way to give back and bring joy to those who are facing difficult times and make a positive impact on these communities,” said Globe Group Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer Yoly Crisanto.

“As we do our last-minute shopping for our friends and loved ones for Christmas, may we also keep in mind our kababayans who have no means to do the same. Let us help give them decent meals this holiday season through the Hapag Movement,” said Jay Beltran, SMAC SAVP Head of Sales and Marketing.

Helping Fellow Filipinos

An estimated 15 million Filipinos regularly experience involuntary hunger, according to the Social Weather Stations. This makes it more important than ever to support programs like the Hapag Movement, which is working to alleviate hunger and provide assistance to those in need.

The Hapag Movement uses technology and collaboration to help 100,000 families experiencing involuntary hunger through supplemental feeding and livelihood support.

If you’re still doing your Christmas shopping, why not make a difference while you shop? By getting a SMAC and supporting the Hapag Movement, you’ll be able to contribute to a great cause while crossing items off your holiday shopping list. It’s not too late to start shopping while doing good!
