Actress Yassi Pressman is raising funds to feed families in need amid the COVID-19 crisis, through the campaign “Stay Safe Together.”
Pressman’s initiative gathers monetary donations in exchange for a “Stay Safe Together” bracelet. The actress said that one bracelet feeds one family, as per her Instagram post yesterday, June 8.
The campaign aims to “spark hope and support the most vulnerable communities who got affected by the COVID-19 pandemic across the country.” It provides food packs to these communities with the help of the youth volunteer organization, Be the Juan PH.

According to Stay Safe Together, Be the Juan PH had successfully aided farmers in Iloilo and urban poor families in Tondo. All proceeds from the initiative will be given to Be the Juan PH, to help the initiative continue its efforts.
