Description of Organization

Food from the Heart is a charity founded in February 2003 by Singapore-based Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer, who were inspired to channel surplus food from bakeries to families in need after they read an article about bread wastage. Today, Food from the Heart is Singapore’s foremost independent food charity with IPC status that makes a tangible and meaningful contribution to fighting hunger through bread rations and food packs, and bringing joy through the distribution of toys and birthday celebrations. With the support of donors, food industry partners and more than 10,000 volunteers, Food from the Heart made a difference to the lives of 44,600 people throughout Singapore by distributing S.2 million worth of food in 2019.

 

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

The fund will be used to support Food from the Heart’s 6 programmes.

 

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

We will invite the YFC volunteer over to participate in the packing session. They will also be able to tour the warehouse and understand how the food is being distributed.
