SINGAPORE – Over 126,000 low-income individuals are set to gain greater access to fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk and household items following FairPrice Group’s $3 million donation to two of charity Hao Ren Hao Shi ’s grocery distribution initiatives.

The donation, announced on Oct 24, is for a three-year partnership that includes about 1,200 distributions under the charity’s Mobile Groceries and Happy Mart initiatives . About 1,000 corporate and frontline volunteers will be mobilised to support the monthly packing and distribution runs.

Unity pharmacists will also participate in selected community distributions offering complimentary blood pressure checks and basic wellness advice, FairPrice said, adding that the aim of the partnership was to improve beneficiaries’ access to nutritious food and quality essentials.

A Mobile Groceries distribution at Blk 158 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 on Oct 24 marked the start of the partnership, with 100 volunteers helping to hand out fresh produce, eggs, milk, daily essentials and a special Wellness Pack containing supplements curated by Unity to over 300 low-income individuals.

Among the beneficiaries at the distribution run was 71-year-old Lim, who lives in a rental flat in Toa Payoh with his wife and received daily essentials from the Mobile Groceries initiative for eight years.

“My wife cooks daily so being able to collect produce such as vegetables and eggs really help to ease our grocery budget,” he said.

Aisyah, a 33-year-old mother of two who also received her daily essentials through the initiative, said she prepared meals for her children in advance as she would not have enough time to cook after getting home from work.

She added: “Having the grocery truck come to our block takes a huge load off my monthly budget.”

Another beneficiary, 80-year-old Low, lives alone and collects groceries such as eggs, bread, rice and oil from the initiative to supplement her daily cooking.

“As I have been retired for many years, this initiative helps me to save money and I also get to catch up with my neighbours during the distributions,” she said.

Jean Khong, general manager of FairPrice Foundation, the group’s philanthropic arm, said the foundation believes that good nutrition is a cornerstone of community well-being.

She added: “For many families, putting nutritious meals on the table while juggling rising household expenses can be challenging. This is why we support communities at different stages of life, from young children to seniors.

“Through our partnership with Hao Ren Hao Shi, we hope to make everyday essentials and fresh, nutritious food more accessible to families right here in our heartlands, easing some of their daily worries and helping them eat better.”

Anson Ng, founder-chairman of Hao Ren Hao Shi, said the charity is grateful for the support which would allow them to provide better nutrition to those in need.

“Beyond essential provisions, we are creating meaningful opportunities for youth and volunteers to experience the joy of giving back and build a more compassionate Singapore together,” he added.

FairPrice Foundation’s partnership with Hao Ren Hao Shi is the latest of its programmes aiming to improve nutrition access and education for vulnerable groups in Singapore.

Other programmes by the foundation include a gamified nutrition education programme for seniors, a pre-school nutrition and sustainability education initiative, a commitment to provide $1 million worth of fresh protein to vulnerable communities by 2030, distributions of rescued fruits and vegetables to communities in need, and providing free breakfast bundles for Primary 6 pupils .

通过此次合作，公平价格基金会将支持慈善机构好人好时开展的“流动杂货店”和“快乐超市”项目，覆盖约 1200 个分发点。

新加坡——在职总平价集团向好人好市的两项食品配送计划捐赠 300 万美元后，超过 126,000 名低收入人士将更容易获得新鲜水果、蔬菜、鸡蛋、牛奶和家居用品。

这项于10月24日宣布的捐赠将用于一项为期三年的合作项目，其中包括通过该慈善机构的“流动杂货店”和“快乐超市”计划开展约1200次物资分发活动。约1000名企业和一线志愿者将被动员起来，支持每月一次的打包和分发工作。

FairPrice表示，Unity的药剂师还将参与部分社区分发活动，提供免费血压检查和基本健康建议。FairPrice补充说，此次合作的目的是改善受益人获得营养食品和优质必需品的机会。

10 月 24 日，在 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 第 158 座组屋举行的流动杂货分发活动标志着双方合作的开始。100 名志愿者帮助向 300 多名低收入人士分发了新鲜农产品、鸡蛋、牛奶、日常必需品以及由 Unity 精心挑选的营养补充剂组成的特别健康包。

在这次物资分发活动中，受益者之一是 71 岁的林先生，他和妻子住在 Toa Payoh 的一间出租组屋里，八年来一直通过流动杂货店计划领取日常必需品。

他说：“我妻子每天都做饭，所以能够购买蔬菜和鸡蛋等农产品真的有助于减轻我们的食品预算负担。”

33 岁的艾莎是一位有两个孩子的母亲，她也通过这项计划获得了日常必需品。她说，她会提前为孩子们准备好饭菜，因为她下班回家后没有足够的时间做饭。

她补充说：“杂货车开到我们街区来，大大减轻了我每月的预算负担。”

另一位受益者，80岁的Low独自生活，她从该计划中领取鸡蛋、面包、大米和食用油等食品杂货，以补充她日常的烹饪。

“我已经退休多年了，这项举措帮助我省钱，而且在发放物资的时候，我还可以和邻居们叙叙旧，”她说。

公平价格基金会总经理 Jean Khong 表示，该基金会认为良好的营养是社区福祉的基石。公平价格基金会是该集团的慈善机构。

她补充道：“对许多家庭来说，在应对不断上涨的家庭开支的同时，还要保证膳食营养均衡，这并非易事。正因如此，我们为处于不同人生阶段的社区提供支持，从幼儿到老年人。”

“通过与好人好食的合作，我们希望让生活在我们中心地带的家庭更容易获得日常必需品和新鲜营养的食物，减轻他们的一些日常担忧，帮助他们吃得更好。”

好人好时创始人兼主席吴安森表示，该慈善机构非常感谢各方的支持，这将使他们能够为有需要的人提供更好的营养。

“除了提供基本物资外，我们还在为青年和志愿者创造有意义的机会，让他们体验回馈社会的快乐，并共同建设一个更有爱心的新加坡，”他补充道。

FairPrice基金会与郝仁好时合作，是其旨在改善新加坡弱势群体营养获取和教育的最新项目。

该基金会的其他项目包括面向老年人的游戏化营养教育计划、学前营养和可持续发展教育计划、承诺到 2030 年向弱势群体提供价值 100 万美元的新鲜蛋白质、向有需要的社区分发拯救的水果和蔬菜，以及为小学六年级学生提供免费早餐包。
