drive for Food Bank Singapore!

donated to Food Bank Singapore varies.
However, the need for food is constant.
Food drives are a great way to generate
additional donations for Food Bank Singapore

same time, raise awareness about hunger
issues and food wastage in Singapore.

70,000* families are in need of daily meals/food
