foodpanda Malaysia, in collaboration with Coca-Cola Malaysia and Viu, initiated a nationwide food basket distribution program in partnership with local NGO MyFundAction to support and distribute 5,000 food baskets to families in need across Malaysia. The initiative was inaugurated by YB Fahmi Fadzil, the Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai and Minister of Communications.
The initiative, beginning from March 11 and will run until April 9, 2024, will see families across Malaysia receiving food baskets valued at RM50 each throughout the month of Ramadan. This initiative will begin by providing assistance to over 200 families in need in the Lembah Pantai Constituency. It aims to offer timely assistance to those who are in need, especially during the month of Ramadan.
YB Fahmi Fadzil said, “foodpanda’s commitment in implementing positive change is in line with the agenda and aspirations of the government, which places great emphasis on caring for the less fortunate, thus guaranteeing their well-being.”
