Singapore Red Cross
FoodAid Programme
What is the Singapore Red Cross FoodAid Programme?
The Singapore Red Cross FoodAid Programme supports programmes such as ‘Meals with Love’, which provides monthly rations of nutritious food to the disadvantaged in our society.
The focus is on supporting those who may have fallen through the cracks of social services such as:
- Skipped-generation families (grandparent-headed households)
- Single-parent families
- Working poor
What is the value of this programme?
Even as Singaporeans become more affluent, there are still people struggling to get by, with minimal or no family and/or community support. The Singapore Red Cross has identified about 200 families who can benefit from a sustainable programme that puts ‘real’ food on their table.
Through ‘Meals with Love’, a FoodAid project, volunteer befrienders not only put nutritious food on the table, but also offer a listening ear, a helping hand and practical advice to the families in need.
