A Singapore where no good food goes to waste and no one is left behind.
By joining The Hunger Gap Walkathon, you help turn excess into opportunity — nourishing communities while caring for the planet.
Seniors and lower-income households often face financial strain as the cost of living rises. Regular pantry staples help ease this burden, allowing families to redirect limited resources to other essential needs. One partner running monthly pop-up supermarkets reported an 18% reduction in financial stress among beneficiaries receiving regular grocery support.
Through our partners, food support also reaches households referred by social service offices, community centres, and Members of Parliament.
Children from lower-income households may skip breakfast or recess due to limited pocket money, and often lack basic stationery.
According to Hunger Report II, food-insecure households frequently face unmet non-food needs — including school supplies.
The Back-to-School Support Programme provides breakfast/recess-friendly snacks and drinks, together with a basic stationery kit to support students in school.
Tertiary students from lower-income households may miss out on everyday peer activities, such as dining out, due to financial constraints.
These informal gatherings help build friendships, networks, and a sense of belonging during the formative tertiary years.
Our upcoming programme (Q3 2026) will provide prepaid meal credits, redeemable via mobile devices at selected F&B partners — supporting nourishment, dignity, and opportunities for social connection.
Established in 2012, The Food Bank Singapore is the nation’s only accredited member of The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), an organisation which supports food banks in more than 50 countries.
As an independent (non-government funded) IPC-registered charity, we collect surplus food from manufacturers, distributors, retailers, restaurants, and consumers, and channel them to vulnerable communities through our network of beneficiary partners. We also procure food as needed to meet the food support requirements of our beneficiary partners. Beyond providing vital food support to improve food security, we champion food sustainability through advocacy, reducing food waste, and driving education programmes that inspire action to reduce food waste and build a more sustainable future.
