At Food from the Heart, we recognise the importance of addressing food insecurity and hunger in our community. And as a prominent charitable organisation dedicated to food distribution, we are committed to fostering a compassionate community that cares for one another. In-kind food donation is one initiative of ours that plays a big role in supporting low-income families, the elderly and others in need in Singapore, enabling us to continue tackling the issue of food insecurity. And naturally, your generous food donations enable us to extend a helping hand to those in need, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals.
By donating to Food from the Heart, you not only provide sustenance but also contribute to reducing food wastage. We understand the significance of reducing food waste and strive to ensure that surplus food reaches those who can benefit from it. And your contributions directly impact the lives of thousands, making a positive difference in their daily struggles.

Upon arrival at our office, you can pass the food items to our dedicated staff member, Kelvin, who will ensure they are properly received and recorded.
For your convenience, if you find it challenging to deliver food donations during our operating hours, we have also provided a food donation box outside our office. Feel free to drop off non-perishable food items in the box, even when our office is closed. Your contribution helps us maintain a stable supply of essential food items, ensuring that those less fortunate receive regular support and nourishment.

24/7 Community Shop Food Donation Box
At Food from the Heart, we strive to make food donations convenient for our donors. In addition to accepting food donations at our office during operating hours, we have set up 24/7 food drop donation boxes at each of our Food from the Heart Community Shops. These boxes provide a convenient and accessible way for donors to contribute non-perishable food items to support those in need, even when our office is closed. This helps to keep the kampung spirit alive within the neighbourhood.
In-kind food donation is one way to support low income families, the elderly and others in need in Singapore. We accept food donations at our office Mondays to Fridays, 9am - 6pm. Some donors also order food through online grocers, FairPrice and RedMart, and arrange delivery directly to our office.
There is also a donation box outside our office where non-perishable food can be dropped off when our office is closed.
Each Food from the Heart Community Shop also has a 24/7 food drop, which allows donors to drop off food donations at the Shop. This helps to keep the kampung spirit alive within the neighbourhood.
