3.0 Food Bank Community Program

Food Bank Community Program which was launched in December 2018 have successfully benefited
418,000 households living below the poverty line nationwide.

In implementing Food Bank Community Program, Yayasan Food Bank Malaysia and KPDNHEP linked up
main strategic partners and local non-governmental organisation (NGO) with participating
supermarkets, pasar tani, food producers, restaurants and hotels.

This program is not going to be a one-off or an ad hoc program that only happens once or occasionally
but is a continuous effort which is expected to help the poor people cope with the rising cost of living.

Main Strategic Partners such as Mutiara Food Bank, Food Aid Foundation and KECHARA Soup with local
NGOs will collect groceries from the supermarkets involved in the program such as Tesco, Econsave, The
Store, NSK and SEGI before they distribute them once a week to the target groups in the dedicated
zones.
