- 130 students were served through the Feeding Program.

Success is often measured through growth, innovation, and business results. At Big Outsource, we believe success should also be measured by the positive impact we create beyond the workplace.
As a Philippines outsourcing company serving businesses across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, we understand that strong organizations are built on strong communities. While we help clients grow through dedicated offshore teams and outsourcing solutions, we also believe in supporting the people and communities where our employees live and work.
This commitment recently came to life through two community outreach activities at Sta. Monica Elementary School in San Pablo City, Laguna: Brigada Eskwela and a Feeding Program.
Through volunteerism, collaboration, and community support, our team worked together to help prepare classrooms, provide meals to students, and donate much needed classroom furniture that will continue benefiting learners for years to come.
These initiatives reflect our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and our belief that meaningful impact begins with service.
Big Outsource Supports Sta. Monica Elementary School Through Community Outreach
Community Outreach Programs create opportunities for organizations to make a meaningful difference where support is needed most. For Big Outsource, investing in education is one way we can contribute to the future of our communities.
As an outsourcing partner supporting businesses around the world, we recognize the importance of creating opportunities that extend beyond business operations. Community support, education, and volunteerism remain important parts of how we contribute to long term positive impact.
Our activities at Sta. Monica Elementary School were guided by several objectives:
- Help prepare a safe and welcoming learning environment.
- Encourage Employee Volunteerism and community involvement.
- Support student well-being before the start of classes.
- Strengthen relationships with the local educational community.
- Address immediate school needs through practical assistance.
By focusing on both school preparation and student support, these Social Impact Initiatives aimed to create a positive experience for students, teachers, and families alike.
Brigada Eskwela: Preparing a Better Learning Environment
On June 2, employee volunteers participated in Brigada Eskwela at Sta. Monica Elementary School.
Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide initiative that encourages communities, organizations, and volunteers to help schools prepare for the opening of classes. It demonstrates how Community Engagement can create meaningful improvements for students and educators.
Nine volunteers from the Human Resources and Marketing teams dedicated their time to classroom cleaning, field cleaning, and campus preparation activities.
Working alongside members of the school community, the team spent two hours helping create a cleaner and more organized environment for students returning to school.
While classroom cleaning may appear simple, these efforts contribute to a more comfortable and productive learning experience. Clean and well-maintained learning spaces help students focus, feel welcomed, and begin the school year with confidence.
The activity also highlighted the value of Employee Volunteerism. By giving their time and effort, employees were able to contribute directly to a cause that benefits young learners and educators.
For Big Outsource, a Philippines outsourcing company built around people, these moments reinforce the importance of giving back to the communities that support us.
Feeding Program: Sharing Meals and Encouragement
On June 8, Big Outsource returned to Sta. Monica Elementary School for a Feeding Program designed to support students as they prepared for another academic year.
Twelve employee volunteers from Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Business Development, Management, and Utilities participated in the activity.
Together, the team distributed meals to 130 students. Each food pack included chicken, spaghetti, and ice cream, creating a memorable experience for the children while providing nourishment and encouragement.
Beyond the meals themselves, the program aimed to remind students that they are supported by people who care about their growth and success.
Programs like these demonstrate how Social Impact Initiatives can create meaningful moments that extend beyond a single day. A simple act of sharing a meal can strengthen connections, inspire confidence, and create positive memories for students as they begin a new school year.
For organizations, meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility efforts are often measured not only by what is given, but by the lasting impact created through genuine community engagement.
Addressing a Need Beyond the Classroom
One of the most significant contributions made during the initiative was the donation of 200 armchairs to Sta. Monica Elementary School.
The donation was intended to help address classroom furniture shortages and provide students with a more comfortable learning environment.
Access to proper classroom furniture plays an important role in supporting effective learning. For many schools, these practical needs can directly affect the day-to-day experience of students and teachers.
The impact of the donation was immediately felt by the school community.
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Big Outsource, for your generous donation of 200 armchairs and 130 food packs. Your kindness has brought comfort to our learners and hope to our indigent students. Your support reminds us that when a community comes together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our young Monicans. Thank you for being a blessing to the Sta. Monica Elementary School Family. More Power Big Outsource!”
Moments like these remind us that meaningful support often comes through practical actions that directly improve the lives of others.
Employee Volunteerism in Action
One of the most inspiring aspects of both activities was the enthusiasm shown by employees across multiple departments.
A total of 21 employee volunteers participated in Brigada Eskwela and the Feeding Program, demonstrating a shared commitment to giving back to the community.
These activities provided an opportunity for employees to work together outside their day-to-day responsibilities while contributing to a cause that creates a real impact.
As shared by one of the organizers:
“Our contribution to the learning community is to remind the children that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed. We are more than grateful to contribute and try to create a comfortable learning place for them.”
This message reflects the heart of the initiative and the purpose behind every volunteer effort.
As a Philippines outsourcing company, Big Outsource believes that successful teams are built not only through professional excellence but also through shared values and meaningful experiences that bring people together.

Looking Ahead
Corporate Social Responsibility is not defined by a single event. It is built through consistent action, meaningful partnerships, and a genuine commitment to creating positive change.
At Big Outsource, we believe that being Built Around You extends beyond business. As a Philippines outsourcing company and trusted outsourcing partner for organizations around the world, we recognize the importance of creating value not only for our clients but also for the communities where our people live and work.
We are grateful to every employee volunteer who participated in Brigada Eskwela and the Feeding Program. Their time, effort, and generosity made these initiatives possible.
