There is a growing sentiment that Maharashtra Mandal Singapore should put its foot forward and get involved with a social cause in Singapore. We are happy to announce the Food Bank volunteering initiative on these lines, first of its kind by MMS. We hope to achieve the twin objectives of contributing to a social cause and integrating with the local community. The Food Bank Singapore a registered charity organisation that strives to bridge the gap by collecting surplus food in the market and providing it to organisations and people in need of food. Singapore alone generated 788,600 tonnes of food waste last year and on the other hand 800,000 meals are required monthly by charitable organizations for its needy and less fortunate families. Its mission is to be a bridge between potential food donors and the receivers, to bring awareness to to society on importance of food resource and its planning and to look at ways to reduce food wastage.
Maharashtra mandal Singapore is always interested to work with local bodies that support social causes. After discussion with food bank Singapore, they have allotted a 3 hr slot (10am - 1pm) for MMS volunteers on Tuesday, November 15. Although it is a weekday, it gives a great opportunity to those who can make it, to come together, bond and volunteer. People including kids who have volunteered have shared that the experience is very satisfying. Food bank will provide introduction and orientation before the session.
