Advocacy

At The Food Bank Singapore, we are dedicated to advocating the issue of food insecurity and food waste in Singapore. Through our diverse and comprehensive network in educational institutions, corporates, etc, we actively raise awareness about the paradox between hunger and food waste and empower our audiences with key action plans that can make a difference.

We invite you to book a Food Bank informational session for your workplace or educational institution or host a Food Bank booth at your upcoming event to join us in spreading the word and start igniting change.

Our informative talks delve into crucial topics including food insecurity, food wastage, a food bank’s contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)   our food programmes, and how the audience can be part of the solution. Along the way, you can discover rewarding volunteering opportunities with us!

The Hunger Report 2019: An In-Depth Look at Food Insecurity in Singapore

The first Hunger Report: An In-Depth Look at Food Insecurity in Singapore identified 10.4% resident households that had experienced at least one episode of food insecurity in the 12 months. The fundamental aim of the report is to help readers understand the profiles of individuals/households that experience food insecurity and the socio-psychological impact it has on their lives.

Hunger Report Part II: Targeting Specific Needs in the Wake of Covid-19

Given the unprecedented changes brought about by COVID-19 on livelihoods and access to food, The Food Bank Singapore decided to follow up with The Hunger Report Part II to understand better how mindsets and needs have shifted in the midst of the pandemic. The study sought to determine whether families who were already food insecure faced greater challenges in having their food needs met adequately in the aftermath of Singapore’s “circuit breaker” period during the COVID-19 pandemic.
