With A Full Plate, every person in Singapore are invited to join this donation drive to ensure the local communities have the nutrition necessary to live healthier, more meaningful lives.

Running from now till 17th November 2024, A Full Plate encourages everyone to make a difference by donating at FairPrice Super, Finest, Xtra, Xpress, Cheers, Unity pharmacies, Kopitiam, and Cantine outlets. FairPrice Foundation will match all contributions up to S$1 million.







FAQs

What is A Full Pate about? How can I donate?

“A Full Plate” is Singapore’s largest food donation drive, organised by FairPrice Group, and supported by FairPrice Foundation! The drive aims to improve access to nutritious essentials for our community, with beneficiaries selected from 10 registered partner charities.

Customers can donate by selecting curated grocery bundles of nutritious essentials at participating FairPrice Super, Finest, Xtra, Xpress, Cheers, and Unity pharmacy outlets (excluding airport stores). Customers can also donate hot, nutritious meals at participating Kopitiam and Cantine outlets across Singapore!

Through A Full Plate, FairPrice Group seeks to feed and nourish communities in need, which include families from low-income households, seniors, and individuals facing food insecurity.

Our 10 charity partners are registered IPCs (Institutions of Public Character) with Singapore’s Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. They have been selected from FairPrice Foundation’s network of trusted community organisations, who support their beneficiaries through regular food donations, such as groceries or hot meals.

How will my donation of grocery bundles or hot meals be distributed to the beneficiary?

Not to worry! The distribution of all grocery bundles and hot meals will be managed directly by our charity partners. These partners actively serve and have a deep understanding of their beneficiaries’ needs, and will ensure that your donation helps feed someone in need. As much as possible, distributions will also be aligned with the various dietary and nutritional needs of beneficiaries.

Will my donation be eligible for tax deductions?

Kindly note that the donations collected are not eligible for tax relief, and no tax deductions will be issued for this Campaign. Nonetheless, your generosity will help us, as well as our partner charities, ensure that everyone has access to nutritious essentials to thrive, especially in challenging times!
