Food from the Heart Information

Food from the Heart is a charity with IPC status that feeds the needy through our food distribution programmes. It was established in February 2003 after Singapore-based Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer read an article about bread wastage. Stirred, they moved to channel surplus food from bakeries and hotels to those in need. Today, Food from the Heart is Singapore's foremost independent food charity that makes a tangible and meaningful contribution to fighting hunger through bread rations and food packs, and bringing joy through the distribution of toys and birthday celebrations. With the support of donors, food industry partners and more than 15,000 volunteers, Food from the Heart made a difference to the lives of 53,700 people throughout Singapore by distributing $6.35 million worth of food in 2020.
