We would like to invite you to participate in a school-wide food collection in support of the local food banks managed by 'Food from the Heart', a local non-profit organisation committed to alleviating hunger through food distribution in Singapore.
We will be holding a school-wide food collection for around two weeks in November 2023 in each school from Kindergarten to High School as well as in the Administration building. Food can be brought in from Monday, 25 November 2024 through to Friday, 6 December 2024. All the food collected will be donated to 'Food from the Heart' and will then be distributed to those in need in the local Singapore community. OFS has been working with 'Food from the Heart' for over ten years, volunteering and holding food collections.
Please see the list below for specific non-perishable items to be donated. These are items that the organisation has deemed to be most useful at this time.
'Food from the Heart' Wish List:
*Minimum date of expiry to be 3 months and beyond
**They prefer to receive Halal-certified items
N.B. The sizes are to help with distribution and transportation.
Please note that we are unable to take any cash donations. We also ask your help in ensuring that all the food donated is not in glass jars or bottles, and is within the expiry date.
There will be a collection point at each of the school’s main office areas. Students and parents can bring in their food donations and these will be packed and collected by Food from the Heart at the end of the event.
If you would like to send a delivery to the School, please contact the High School Secretaries at hs-secretaries@ofs.edu.sg or 67380211 ext. 619 and inform them of the time to expect the delivery, so that they can inform our Security Officers.
We hope you will be able to join us in this important opportunity to give to the community.
If you have any questions regarding this collection, please do not hesitate to call Mr. John James at 67380211 or email him via john_james@ofs.edu.sg.
