Belanja @ Jurong Central
Project Belanja @ Jurong Central is a community food distribution scheme designed to address food security in Jurong Central. Residents under the scheme can redeem cooked meals and drinks on a quarterly basis at participating operators through a “meal card” worth $30, comprising six meals at $4 each and six drinks at $1 each at participating coffee shops and eateries. Residents who wish to offer a helping hand to ‘belanja’ fellow residents can also purchase magnets at $4 each to place on the redemption board for those who need them to redeem when they visit the stalls.
In 2024, we have distributed 2150 meal cards to various households and expect to reach more households per run in time to come. In collaboration with Jurong Central Citizens’ Consultative Committee, Loving Heart Multi-Service Centre (Jurong) is happy to be able to serve more residents warm meals and help make food security accessible to more!
Pictured on the right, we were honoured to have our advisors and partners launch the programme in January 2019. Their involvement serves as a testament to the importance and impact of our initiative, and we are grateful to have their endorsement for this meaningful program.
