Food relief operations are among the initiatives of the Philippine Cooperative Center (PCC) in partnership with other cooperatives in the wake of the present crisis. Under this initiative, PCC seeks to help the farmer groups/farmer coops sell their produce, particularly those that they are overstocked on and the intended recipients are the needy coop communities in NCR and nearby provinces.
Last May 15, 2020, the Philippine Cooperative Center organized a relief operation for the victims of fire in Tondo, Manila and cooperatives in need. The relief goods contained rice and various vegetables such as carrots, potato, sayote, raddish and cabbage. The purchase of said vegetables was an arrangement with farmers and LGUs to help the farmers of La Trinidad, Benguet sell their vegetables to be able to earn during the quarantine.  A total of 2,265 families from different Cities were given relief goods.
