Deliveroo customers in Singapore have generously rallied to donate over $50,000 for charity organisation Food from the Heart (FFTH) since December last year, with Deliveroo matching the first $10,000 worth of donations, bringing the total to over $60,000. The funds were raised through the delivery platform’s in-app donation feature and have benefited 1,500 low-income school age children and their families who are beneficiaries of FFTH’s School Goodie Bag programme, which focuses on providing underprivileged primary and secondary school students and their families with food rations and better nutrition.
To continue the great work, the food delivery platform has joined hands with FFTH once again to help raise funds for their ‘I CAN Award’, an annual initiative celebrating the resilience and achievements of young beneficiaries. From today, you can search for “No Child Goes Hungry” on the Deliveroo app to make donations towards the cause. The donations raised will go towards purchasing items such as vouchers and trophies to reward 90 students and their families for their outstanding accomplishments!
Alongside the in-app donations, Deliveroo is also hosting a physical food drive at Deliveroo Editions at Alice@Mediapolis. Don’t forget to drop by and drop off donations of food staples such as cooking oil, rice and canned goods! The items will go towards disadvantaged families under FFTH’s food programme.
