Food Aid
Foundation is the first organization in Malaysia to
rescue perishable and non-perishable excess food. Established in 2013, our
mission is to reduced food wastage and alleviate hunger and malnourishment in
Malaysia.
We collect
and distribute surplus food on a daily basis to our beneficiaries consisting of
welfare and charitable homes, shelters, poor families, destitute, other NGO’s,
refugee communities and the soup kitchen.
While the
statistics of edible food being sent to landfill stands at 3,000 tones daily,
we face issues of malnourishment and lack of nutritious food among those living
in poverty.
We made a
link of helping to reduce food waste and helping people in need with food
donations in many ways:
- Nutritious food for
charities where nutritious
food can be channeled to charity and people in need.
- Savings for charities save on grocery bills for
charity organization and poor family so the funds can be redirected
to education, medical, rehabilitation, utilities and other expenses.
- CSR for food donors by increasing positive
impact on community engagement with the local community by donating
excess food and helping to alleviate hunger.
- Protecting the environment by ensuring good food be
donated rather than going to landfill and helps reduce the negative
impact of food waste on the environment.
