Singapore’s largest food donation drive now open

Esther Yoong, a beneficiary of Woodlands Social Centre, said the initiative’s monthly food packs allow her children to have fresh fruits more regularly, as well as cereal and milk for breakfast.

“It gives me peace of mind knowing that they can enjoy more nutritious and varied meals,” she said.

FPG group chief executive Vipul Chawla said A Full Plate has shown how something as simple as access to nutritious food can make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

“For the seniors, families and workers we support, every grocery bundle or meal received helps ease everyday expenses and takes away some of the worry about putting food on the table,” he said.

“Through FairPrice Foundation, we remain committed to sustaining this support, and we hope more Singaporeans will join us in making a difference, in whatever way they can.”

Since its launch in 2024, A Full Plate has raised more than $3 million to provide food and nutrition assistance to communities in need.

The initiative was developed following findings from FPG’s A Full Plate study, which highlighted the challenges lower-income families face in accessing fresh protein, fruits and vegetables.

The initiative has also helped seniors ease their grocery expenses, enabled lower-income families to stretch their household budgets, and supported migrant workers with their daily meal essentials, said FPG.

It added that A Full Plate is part of FPG and FairPrice Foundation’s broader commitment to uplifting communities through practical, everyday support aimed at keeping daily essentials within reach for all.

In 2026, FPG introduced other initiatives, including price cuts on popular protein products, return vouchers, Community Health Assist Scheme discounts, and a price freeze on daily essentials.

FairPrice Foundation also implemented programmes such as providing 12,000 free breakfast bundles to Primary 6 pupils, distributing protein drinks to 4,500 young people from self-help groups, and distributing more than eight tonnes of rescued fruits and vegetables to communities in need each month.
