A unique concept of developing a more targeted approach to providing free food in for those in need was recently carried out by a recently opened community store in Mountbatten in Singapore.

The shop carries only donated products on its shelves and provides free groceries and food rations for the needy. Beneficiaries can go in and select items they want and need, giving way to a more efficient and specific food donation system.

FREE FOOD IN SINGAPORE: FOOD FROM THE HEART, CHARITY

The store is an initiative by charity ‘Food from the Heart’ and is located at Block 13 Old Airport Road.

Manned by volunteers, it opened earlier in February and serves beneficiaries from nearly 500 needy households from the Mountbatten and MacPherson neighbourhoods.

The beneficiaries were previously presented with pre-packed hampers of donated food from various social service centres and did not have a choice in the products they received.
