2. The family has created the "Unmanned Free Food Pantry" , where there are pantries placed around void decks of HDB blocks, unmanned by anyone, to supply food such as Indo-mie and Gardenia bread to the less fortunate people. The reason why these pantries are unmanned is because the family believes in respect for the less fortunate, since some of them may feel shy and have no dignity from receiving free food from someone else. Hence, if they are unmanned it gives the less fortunate the chance to receive food without feeling like they owe the family too much. Moreover, trust between the family and less fortunate is established, though they might not know each others' identities.]]> 2022-05-12 07:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2180794678 ikea tampines https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2180795156 1.

By introducing the free food and drinks scheme for vulnerable families which can be redeemed from participating coffee shops, food courts and heartland enterprises, will help those families that are facing financial problems. The CDCs will also be giving out $100 Community Development Council (CDC) voucher to the citizens for their daily expenses and $200 for Singaporeans aged 20 and below for the Child Development Account, Edusave Account, or Post Secondary Education Account.
This would help low income families to reduce their financial stress as they can make use of the vouchers the government gave. Thus boost the support for local businesses and enterprises as well as improving the lives of low income and vulnerable families.

When businesses sell food items, they tend to cook/prepare extra as they do not want the food items to run out in the middle of the day. Therefore, at end of each day, there will usually be an amount of food that is left unfinished/not sold to consumers.

For example, one way of starting a donation the volunteer leader in Yishun, Rahimah Rahim came out with is “Free Food For All” , where she runs a community fridge with the residents such that they can donate food that they do not need it but still in good quality to consume into the fridge and are able to take the other food that is sufficient for their family to eat. This can allow the Low income families to be able to have assess to food when they are unable to afford buying food themselves and able to continue with live.

The food collected will then be re-distributed to others such as the low income families who may need the food as they are unable to afford for the food themselves. This will then lead to everyone getting enough food. When everyone have enough food, there will not be hunger throughout the country. This in turn will lead to the country being free from hunger as everyone has food to eat. Therefore, formal groups can help and contribute to meet the needs of society.]]> 2022-05-12 12:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181196144 brayden https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181288149 One example of how individuals contribute to meet the needs of society is Ken Yeo and his family, and the project of "Unmanned Free Food Pantry". The family created the UFFP to ensure that the less fortunate get their hands on some food that they may not be able to afford. These pantries are placed around void decks of HDB blocks, unmanned by anyone to supply food such as Indo-mie and Gardenia bread. The reason why the pantries are unmanned is because the Yeo Family believes in respect for the less fortunate, since some of them may feel shy or have no dignity for receiving free food from someone else. By having no one manning the pantries, the less fortunate can receive food without feeling like they owe the family. The trust that will be established between the family and these less fortunate people will result in the increase in likelihood of these fortunate people visiting these pantries because they are grateful and will let other people know about this. The more people will know about the kind deeds done by the Yeo Family and the pantries will gain popularity. Some non profit organisations may take notice of the idea and collaborate with the family to expand the project, throughout the whole of Singapore. Hence, a larger proportion of the less fortunate in Singapore will receive the aid of free food , further enhancing the contributions done by the Yeo Family in doing good for the society.]]> 2022-05-12 13:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181288149 wang weifeng https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181295602 A self funded project like A Packet Of Rice (APOR) which was initiated by volunteers distribute food to the needy.

But the object is the same and that is to donate food the needy groups for them to benefit. For example food form the heart collaborates with Pei Hwa Secondary conducting a food drive. A certain week students are parents are being asked by the Sec 4s to donate food items. The Sec 4s pack the food by categories and help load into the food form teh heart trucks. These foods will go into their food from the heart inventory. Food from the heart has a community shop that sells food just like at Fairprice but at a heavily discounted price for the needy to afford basic food items such as packets of noodles, soups, bread, etc... The food that is in there inventory is used to restock these community shop to ensure a continual supply of food to the needy, the needy can then pick and buy food according to their needs at home at a heavily discounted price, this would not burn a whole in their wallet and save them in the long run as they have what they need, thus they have food to eat at home for the kids and family and thus meeting the needs of society ]]> 2022-05-12 14:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181317911 Hao Yuan https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181321989 Individuals can contribute to meet the needs of society by providing needy citizens with what they need. For example, a family in Singapore has set up temporary cardboard stalls with free food and household items like bread, biscuits and mosquito repellents along roads near 1 to 2 room HDB blocks and the people living in these blocks are free to grab a few of the items. Since the residents can take what they need, they will be feel grateful for what they have received and will also try to give back to society and help those who need the items. This can help maintain a constant cycle of needy people being able to receive what they need and and the individuals giving will be able to contribute to the needs of society.]]> 2022-05-12 14:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181321989 jayden https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181410146 formal groups with with other formal groups such as offices and shops to set up food dontion spots for people to donate food. the formal groups can then collect extra unsold bread or cakes from different stalls such as breadtalk, to give out to the needys. this will end up being a good thing as the country will be free of hunger, and formal group  can also jelp amd contribute while meeting the needs of society.]]> 2022-05-12 14:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181410146 sher yan https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181418444 informal groups such as self funded volunteers can donate food to the people in need to solve food insecurity. for example, A Packet Of Rice (APOR) distribute meals and food items right to the doorsteps of the needy senior citizens who are living in rental flats in Singapore. the food items include packed lunch and food staples such as bananas, buns, bread, biscuits and packet drinks, volunteers will then bundle them into convenient take and go packages according to the recipients’ HDB block numbers. needy senior citizens will have assess to food and they will spend less money on food, allowing them to use their money on other essentials and continue with their daily lives, meeting the needs of society.]]> 2022-05-12 14:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181418444 Raphael https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181436962 The government official and financial minister Lawrence Wong as well as the Community Development Council (CDC) are contributing by starting schemes to help families that live in HDB as well as executive/multigeneration housing. They do this be implementing a e-voucher system called the GSTV U-Save where as the prices of food and daily necessities are increasing, U-Save is able to help act as cash such that the people in the housing are able to buy the food they require. This will lead to the families feeling a sense of appreciation as the government are stepping up to help the people, thus the government will continue the act of giving out U-Save vouchers ranging from $55 to $95 every month to HDB owners to continue helping out the locals, with these vouchers, the locals will be able to get the food they need, and with the government giving the vouchers to the locals, it shows them giving to the society, and with the locals buying the food with the vouchers they get on a monthly basis, they will not have any lack of food, hence food insecurity is slowly being handled.]]> 2022-05-12 15:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181436962 kenneth https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181600598 Informal groups can initiate their own projects to volunteer and help out people in need.

By providing these vouchers for households, low-income families will receive a separate source of money from the government that can allow them to pay for meals. Through this, families will be able to cut down on expenditure for meals from their own income, relieving the burden of workload and budgeting on low-income families while at the same time, making sure they receive proper meals for a period of time; this is how the government provides basic necessities for low-income families in Singapore.]]> 2022-05-12 18:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181744227 Yw https://padlet.com/misschellelineo/3B1CHAP3/wish/2181982000 Informal groups can work for the good of society as they can solve problems without the need to think about the restrictions brought by government organisations.
