Free Food That Opens Doors and Strengthens Communities

Free Food for All is the only charity in Singapore that distributes free halal meals on a daily basis. Since it started in 2014, it has distributed more than 320,000 meals to the less fortunate.

Its founder, Nizar Shariff explains that while several organisations were regularly distributing cooked food to the poor, these were either vegetarian or non-halal options. FFFA has filled this gap.

But FFFA is more than a project to feed the less fortunate. “Food is the glue that binds us all together,” Nizar says. “It opens doors. It creates opportunities. It builds bonds and relationships, so that we can all be contributing members of society.”
