Community Food Pack

About This Programme

The Community Food Pack programme comprises monthly distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs and bread from Bread Run, to complement a food pack of essential non-perishable food items.

The programme provides seniors and lower-income families with consistent access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their basic needs to live a healthy life.

Due to limited resources, communities in need often prioritise price and satiety—feeling full faster and for longer—over nutrition and fresh foods. The promise of their next meal helps ease their financial burden. That is why we work hard to ensure the timely and dependable provision of our food rations every month without fail.

There are many ways you can help Singaporeans facing food insecurity. Learn how to Donate Right! or make a cash donation to help us feed those in need.

Food Donation Drives in Singapore

Community Food Pack programme is fuelled by a mix of food donations, cash donations, bread from our Bread Run, and the sweat of hardworking food charity volunteers who assist us in the sorting and packing process.

Organising food donation drives is one of the ways you can help us raise essential food supplies while creating awareness about food insecurity and Food from the Heart.

Food donation drives are often adopted by organisations as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility initaitive. They are also organised by school students fulfilling the Values in Action programme, where they commit their time to community service and encourage people to donate food to those in need.

Food Checking and Sorting

Last year, over 450 food donation drives were organised by corporations and schools to help raise food for our charity. Through these food drives, we receive a wide variety of food donations. These food items come in various conditions, ranging from good to bad, single and family-sized packs, as well as Halal and non-Halal.

Our beneficiaries' well-being is of utmost importance, which is why we conduct strict quality checks to make sure all the food we distribute is safe for consumption. The process includes checking for expiration dates and the food safety aspects of the packaging.

After passing our quality checks, items are sorted by category and size.

Food Packing

After sorting, the items are packed into food packs. Each food pack consists of 10 to 12 non-perishable food items from various categories, including rice, cooking oil, oats, biscuits, and canned sardines.

Almost 95,000 food packs were preapred with the help of volunteers for this programme in 2024. We welcome groups of 12 people to volunteer and help us with food sorting or packing. Sign up as an individual volunteer or on behalf of your organisation here.

Food Distribution

Our logistics team delivers the monthly food packs to our Self-Collection Centres across Singapore, to be distributed to our beneficiaries on the same day of every month.
