Mabuhay Fil-Can Inc. hosted a joyful Christmas Party that united families, friends, and the Filipino community in Kingston. The evening featured delicious food, heartfelt performances, and a spirit of belonging that touched everyone present.

We extend our sincere thanks for the generous donations of socks, food items for local food banks, door prize gifts, and monetary donations. These strengthen our mission of community outreach and support.

Our deepest gratitude goes to our guests who shared inspiring messages, and to our Board of Directors, volunteers, guests, and members whose dedication made this celebration possible.

Together, we created not only a festive gathering but also a lasting memory of unity and kindness. Mabuhay Fil-Can Inc. looks forward to many more joyful occasions in the year ahead.
