The Food Bank in Singapore is a non-profit organization that collects surplus food and distributes it to those in need through a network of charity organizations. Its mission is to reduce food waste and alleviate hunger in Singapore by rescuing edible food from various sources and redirecting it to the needy.
How do you extend a helping hand to a food bank in Singapore?
1. Make a monetary contribution and support through donations.
With every $2 you contribute, you provide a meal to someone in need. Your support helps sustain operations and keeps food bank vans on the road, ensuring beneficiaries receive the help they require. With 1 in 10 Singaporeans experiencing food insecurity, your donation can make a significant impact on ending hunger. Please consider donating below.
If you have a fundraising idea or need more information on how to contribute or partner with them, please reach out to The Food Bank Singapore at [email protected].
2. Get involved with warehouse volunteering.
You can choose to volunteer your time to help sort, pack, and distribute food, given that the organization often needs volunteers for various activities, just like Premia TNC’s employees in Singapore at The Food Bank Singapore recently.
During our visit on September 15, 2023, our company took a step towards making our impact by joining our efforts to sort, inventory, and pack these donations. If you’re unable to make a monetary contribution during this period, volunteer instead and help improve the day-to-day lives of the people in need of your support.
