Our regular programmes are usually free for individual members of the public. However, companies and schools sometimes approach us to conduct a session specially for their staff or students so that they may experience what food waste and food loss in Singapore looks like.
As these sessions are conducted outside our regular time slots, we charge a fee to the company or school to organise them. This fee goes towards paying the costs of running the programme, including stipends for our volunteers to help facilitate the running of the session, logistics cost, and towards the long-term sustainability of SG Food Rescue.
Depending on the programme selected, your staff or students may be entitled to each take home ONE (1) marketing trolley of food that is rescued. We believe that the best way to transform a person’s mindset about food waste is to take it home, cook it, and eat it. That is why taking home the rescued food is part of the experience as well.
The balance of the food that is rescued goes towards our Food Recipients, which are soup kitchens and charities that feed the food insecure; and public community fridges for the underprivileged, which are available 24/7 for anyone to put food in or take food from. If you have a specific charity that you would like us to deliver the food to, you may also bring this up to us for discussion.
