#RideforRations2022

The COVID-19 Pandemic has hit many of us. The economically-disadvantaged who are already struggling have been hit much harder. Let us do what we can to help them put food on the table.

In 2021, despite the pandemic, Ride for Rations raised funds to help 581 households with monthly food rations and 191 school-going children with breakfast sets. Around 900 sets of cooked food bentos and seasonal fruits were also distributed during the four festive seasons.

#RideforRations2022 will have 2 formats this year, virtual edition and Melaka-Singapore edition.

Virtual Edition: Challenge Period
1st September 2022 -> 30th September 2022

Melaka-Singapore Edition
2nd September 2022 -> 4th September 2022

Significance

Ride for Rations seeks to ease the difficulties faced by economically-disadvantaged Singaporeans living in rental flats by providing them with monthly food rations as well as breakfasts for school-going children. 

It is a ground-up initiative organised and managed entirely by volunteers, and every single cent that is raised goes towards the cause.

 

Why you should join us

DO GOOD and SUPPORT #RideforRations2022

This year, we aim to raise $594,000 to provide:

Monthly food rations worth $75 for at least 580 disadvantaged families, ensuring that they have essential supplies for a year

Monthly breakfast rations worth $30  for up to 200 school-going children from disadvantaged families.

● Any surplus funds raised through Ride for Rations will be used to provide the families with  cooked food bentos and seasonal fruits during  festive seasons.

100% of the funds raised will go to Sunlove Abode for Intellectually Infirmed Ltd, a registered charity providing food rations to economically-challenged families living  in rental flats in Bukit Merah, Chai Chee, Depot Road, Hougang, Marsiling, Serangoon, Whampoa and Woodlands.
