Shop & Share: Shopping with a Purpose

Every purchase can be a powerful act of kindness. SM Store’s Shop & Share program is a meaningful way to extend a helping hand while indulging in retail therapy. By simply purchasing participating items, a portion of your purchase goes directly to select families and communities nationwide, in partnership with various non-government and non-profit organizations.

SM Store’s Shop & Share movement is a transformative shopping experience that raises awareness of societal needs while bridging the gap between consumerism and charitable giving. This model simplifies donations by enabling shoppers to purchase curated kits at the checkout counter for a subsidized cost. The items inside the specialized kits are made possible throught a collaboration with SM Store’s trusted retail partners. The subsidy is SM Store’s conscious effort to make donations more economical for shoppers, leading them to help more.

With Shop & Share movement, SM Store has already given more than 260,000 pairs of shoes to children, 500,000 school packs to schools and libraries, 200,000 toys to children, 1,200 agriculture tools and seedings to farmers, and 5,000 hygiene kits to young Filipina women.
