The Luzonian supported the Zero Hunger PH, as a publicity partner, with the onset of Typhoon Jolina and Typhoon Kiko last September 8 and 11, 2021.

Zero Hunger PH, in collaboration with youth-led groups, launched a donation drive to help communities in Luzon and Visayas devastated by Typhoon Jolina and Kiko. For in-kind donations, seven drop-off hubs were set up in Quezon City, Rizal, Laguna, Quezon, and Camarines Norte.

Community beneficiaries were from Masbate, Batangas, Samar, Eastern Samar, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon who were devastated by typhoon Jolina and Kiko. 

According to Shannen Pondoc, a representative from Zero Hunger PH, they have received approximately Php 42,000 in monetary donations. 

The first batch of in-kind donations went to Masbate residents, while the second batch of monetary donations went to the Batangas community. In Samar, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon, relief activities are undertaken by youth-driven groups.

Zero Hunger PH was a national youth-led movement that has provided food assistance to more than 20,000 families all over the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to do so in light of the different calamities and devastating circumstances in the country.
