The Food Bank Singapore’s Post

Did you know Food Forward has a win-win-win business model? That means our organization is a win for the community, a win for the environment, and a win for the produce industry! And at the same time, we manage to keep our operations financially efficient. In 2023 we kept our cost to recover and distribute produce at approximately $.07/lb and returned a social impact value of $168 million to communities across the region. Check out the 2023 Annual Impact Report to see how we did it all! https://bit.ly/44ImvQ1 #BuildingGenerationalHealth #sharetheabundance #giveback #foodforward #foodwaste #zerowaste #cultivate #community #volunteer #donate #nonprofit #fundraising #communityengagement #foodjustice #dogood #makeadifference #foodrecovery #donation #instagood #bethechange #kindness #joyfulness #giving #foodinsecurity #communityfirst #helpothers #losangeles #california

Community perceptions of charities and community groups are shifting. That will require a reset in some of our thinking to find a new North. Community Council for Australia CEO David Crosbie delves into an absolute must read for #charities and #communitygroups: The Community Compass. In this article for the Community Advocate he discusses four of the many issues that arose for him when reviewing the findings: indifference; volunteering; our shifting values; and community views on purpose. 'People are generally very supportive of our work, and happy to become more involved where possible, but if we really want more engagement and support, we’ll have to do more than appeal to values like fairness and equity that no longer resonate strongly with everyone in our communities.' #charities #communitygroups #nfps #giving #volunteering Finding a new north – reflections on the Community Compass Report: https://lnkd.in/gPaNX2F3

In an era of growing environmental and social consciousness, the concept of a "just transition" has gained significant attention, particularly for those organisations leading the way in social responsibility, like charities and social enterprises. This blog aims to provide a simple, jargon-free explanation for what it means and, importantly, how it is likely to affect charities, social enterprises and community organisations and the pivotal role they play in driving this transformation. What is your organisation doing as part of the Just Transition and how has it affected your activity and the products / services you deliver? https://lnkd.in/dKMXE9bS #JustTransition #Charity #SocialEnterprise

To share or not to share....How do you share food at work? Food Forward's staff loves eating and often shares surplus food so it doesn't go uneaten!
