About Food enterprise:
Food from the Heart.

2. What is Food from the Heart?
• It is a systematic programme of food redistribution that helped to ease the
burden of many needy families and individuals. Encouraged by the response,
Food from the Heart expanded into delivering Food Goodie Bags to families
in need, as well as providing toy donations, and organizing birthday
celebrations and special excursions for underprivileged children.
• “I volunteer with Food from the Heart because I feel it’s an organization
that’s identified an ingenious way to help the needy. It feels awesome
knowing that the food I deliver can go such a long way in bringing people
relief and happiness” Leonora Liu, A Volunteer.

3. What are their Objectives?
• To reach out to the less-fortunate and brighten their lives by alleviating
hunger through a food distribution programme and bringing joy through the
distribution of toys and birthday celebrations.
• As we work towards our mission, we embrace the values of professionalism,
efficiency, transparency and self-sustainability.

4. Any Programmes that they conducted?
• Bread Programmes - United under a common belief that good food should
not go to waste, 120 volunteers started fanning out across the island on a
bread run, a daily mission to save a mountain of bread and buns from ending
up on the rubbish heap.
• Food Goodie Bag- Working with 21 schools, Food from the Heart supplies
monthly non-perishable food items to over 4,200 individuals from the
families of over 1000 school children, supplementing their livelihoods with
basic necessities such as rice, cooking oil, biscuits, beverages and canned
food.

5. How does it help the needy?
• “Volunteers from Food from the Heart have been sending bread and pastries
to Christalite Methodist Home almost every day for the last two years, even
on weekends and public holidays. The bread has provided variety for the
residents, and they look forward to it very much. It has helped to defray
some of the operating costs of the Home. But most of all, we truly
appreciate and are thankful for the volunteers who pick up and deliver the
bread to us in the evenings after their work. Their concern and effort to give
to our residents is more than appreciated.” Florence Ho Director, Christalite
Methodist Home .
