Kuya Ricky, one of our waste collectors wanted to support H+H by buying our Creamy Matcha Spread. He said that his child liked it, which is why he wanted to purchase. So how did he come about my business?

We try our best to share food and some groceries with the key people in our community such as the maintenance personnel, guards, and waste collectors. When I make extra jars of spreads, I share it with them, too. One time, I had extra Matcha and Tablea samplers, so I gave it to Kuya and his team. And this is how he knew that I made these for a living.

Him extending the warmth and sense of community from their home to H+H is a concrete example of how the value of the outdoors can flow from us to another person. For that, I am beyond inspired.

Considering how much their team has done for us in terms of managing our waste, we decided to give them an early Christmas gift instead.
