Catarman, Northern Samar-The DPWH-Northern Samar 1st DEO in partnership with the Northern Samar First District Employees Association (NSFEDEA) kicked off the Department’s 127th Anniversary through a “Garage Sale for a Cause” initiative which will run today, June 10 to 13, 2025 at the district compound.
NSFDEO employees were encouraged to donate gently used items such as t-shirts, pants, bags, shorts, shoes, and children’s items. These donations are now up for sale at affordable prices with all proceeds directed toward a charitable cause.
The proceeds from this said activity will be used to hold a charity event “Back-to-School Program”, to take place during the anniversary celebration on June 23, 2025.The program will provide essential school supplies and learning materials to selected student beneficiaries from marginalized communities within the district.
District Engineer Engr. Alvin A. Ignacio expressed his appreciation to the overwhelming support of the employees who never hesitated to donate their pre-loved belongings just to share and give hope-embodying the deeper significance of this year’s anniversary.
DE Ignacio further added that the district together with NSFEDEA have lined up activities for the anniversary celebration.
The initiative is part of a week-long series of anniversary activities aimed at promoting social responsibility, unity among employees, and service to the community — values that have defined the DPWH for over a century.
