Every Sunday, come rain or shine, a group of volunteers gather in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to distribute halal food and offer first aid to the homeless. When sponsorship allows, we also distribute umbrellas during the wet seasons.
From distributing 20 packs of food when we first started, we are now able to distribute around 130 packs of food each Saturday. This is due to the generous sponsorship from kind donors, who often join us to distribute to the needy. Our giving to all, regardless of race, gender, religion or culture is the basis of our motto: Hunger Knows No Barriers.
Our medium term goal is to have a permanent SOUP KITCHEN in a building in the centre of town, as near as possible to the urban poor, so we can provide food, shelter and counseling to empower the homeless to regain dignity and become employable and independent. To achieve this, we also have a long term goal to create a NURTURE CENTRE.
To achieve this, we need help - any contributions are welcome, whether in financial donations or volunteering your time, skills or resources. Talk to us today!
Please join us on our journey...
Each Sunday:
Food packing starts at 4.30pm at Kechara House 2, SunwayMas Commercial Centre.
