On this International Charity Day, we proudly present some of UnionBank GlobalLinker’s outstanding Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) who actively give back to the community. These SMEs prioritize not only providing quality products and services but also making a positive impact for those in need.

1. Audrey's Confectioneries

One such SME is Audrey's Confectioneries, a Cebu-based business that has transformed the famous Cebu dried mangoes into a feast of caramel delicacy that will surely please even the most discerning palate. But the goodness doesn't stop there. Audrey's Confectioneries actively participates in charitable efforts to support their community at least once a month. They collaborate with the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary Squadron in feeding impoverished children, donating school supplies, participating in mangrove planting, and organizing coastal clean-ups. Just last week, Audrey's Confectioneries distributed school supplies, 20 sacks of rice, and 220 donuts to those in need. Their dedication to both quality confectionery and community welfare makes them a shining example of a socially conscious business.

Sandria's Delicious Concept, also based in Cebu, passionately prepares baked goods that are loved by locals in Minglanilla. Their frozen foods and drool-worthy barquirons have gained popularity, but their commitment to community support remains strong. Sandria's Delicious Concept consistently provides monthly assistance in the form of food and monetary support to abandoned children, street families, and persons with disabilities (PWDs). By ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious meals, Sandria's Delicious Concept contributes to a healthier and more inclusive community.
