Held over two days, the Meals with Love care package distribution brought together communities from all across Singapore in support of those who need it most. 

A nationwide survey by FairPrice Group found that while 83% of Singaporeans recognise the importance of balanced meals for healthy diets, fewer than one in four actually understand what this entails. In addition, vulnerable communities struggle with limited access to nutritious food and often resort to cheaper, nutrient-deficient alternatives. Therefore, to address this nutritional shortfall, FairPrice Group, with support from FairPrice Foundation, launched A Full Plate — Singapore’s largest food donation drive. 

Singapore Red Cross is one of the proud charity partners of FairPrice Group’s A Full Plate, and have received groceries from FairPrice according to the needs of our beneficiaries. The packing of the groceries took place on  24 and 25 April and it reached over 240 beneficiaries islandwide. With help from Ninjavan and SRC volunteers, care packages were delivered to vulnerable residents, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and elderly members of our community.

Each care package contained essential groceries and household items such as cooking ingredients, dairy products, cleaning supplies, batteries and personal care items.

Joining Forces For Good 

The event showcased the power of strategic partnerships, bringing together three key organisations:

• FairPrice Group provided the daily essentials for each care package, ensuring beneficiaries received practical items to support their immediate needs.
• Ninja Van Singapore handled the crucial logistics component, ensuring care packages were safely and efficiently delivered to destinations across the island. Their reliable distribution network proved instrumental in reaching beneficiaries in every corner of Singapore.
• Singapore Red Cross coordinated the volunteer efforts and overall programme delivery, bringing together dedicated individuals committed to making a difference in their communities.

The initiative was championed by four ambassadors who demonstrated exceptional commitment, working alongside volunteers to ensure the programme's success:

We would like to thank the FairPrice Group and Ninja Van Singapore for their timely and generous support, as well as our ambassadors and volunteers who brought the food donation drive to life.
