#RideforRations2023

The challenges of the economically-disadvantaged, who are already struggling, have become even greater. 

Let us do what we can to help them put food on the table.

Since 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Ride for Rations has raised funds to help up to 580 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 in 2021.

We continue the mission through RfR 2023.

#RideforRations2023 will have 2 formats this year:

Melaka-Singapore edition:
1st – 3rd September 2023

Virtual edition:
1st – 30th September 2023

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 and breakfast rations 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.

Registration is now closed.

Why you should join us

DO GOOD and SUPPORT #RideforRations2023

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.
