With an increase in retrenchments and pay cuts in Singapore due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many are finding it harder to put food on the table.

However, some residents along Yishun Street 51 have noticed the recent appearance of an unattended shelf filled with dry groceries at the foot of Block 513C. Two laminated sheets of paper pasted above it read: “Suspended groceries. Take what you need, give what you can.”

The cupboard was placed there by a group of three friends as part of The Jumaat Initiative which hopes to provide an emergency source of food to those in need as a way to give back to the community.
