One third of the food that the world produces ends up in the rubbish bin.
Nine out of ten Singaporeans are concerned about food waste
As we waste food, one in eight people worldwide go hungry every day
Food Bank Singapore helps to “make life better for those who are having it rough”

How can we help?
And, we can also donate our time. Food Bank Singapore needs your help to store and pack food in the warehouse in Tanjong Pagar. This is your opportunity to help play a key role in reducing food wastage in Singapore.
So next time you go to throw that half-eaten burger that your kid left in Macdonalds, toss that bruised tomato for a more attractive one, or can’t be bothered to reheat last night’s dinner, consider the bigger picture, think about what impact your actions are having, and then become a Food Banker.
