Saturday Mornings: Feeding Hope - "Food From the Heart" Supports 70,000 Singaporeans in Need

🌍 It's hard to imagine that up to 100,000 Singaporeans don't have enough to eat each day. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ron Stride, Chairman, and Chin Bottinelli, Guarantor at Food From the Heart.  This week on the Singapore Home Brew, we spotlight one of Singapore’s most impactful community organisations to share how the charity is nourishing lives and strengthening social resilience across the island. Founded in 2003 by Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer, Food From the Heart began with a simple mission: redirect surplus bread to families who needed it. Today, that mission has grown into a nationwide movement supporting 23,000 households and distributing 164,000 food packs annually from schoolchildren to seniors. We explore the rising urgency of food insecurity in Singapore, where studies show that over 10% of households have experienced difficulty accessing nutritious meals. Despite improvements post‑pandemic, nearly half of affected families report no change in their circumstances. Food From the Heart steps into this gap with sustainable, long‑term programmes designed to provide consistent, reliable support. From bread runs to community pantries, from volunteer mobilisation to corporate partnerships, this is a story of compassion, innovation, and the belief that no one in Singapore should go hungry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
