Vantage Foundation has partnered with Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK) to support their community food aid initiative in Kuala Lumpur. The collaboration saw ten volunteers from Vantage Foundation working alongside KSK staff to prepare and deliver essential food aid packs to six registered households in Cheras and Jinjang. These households, identified by KSK, include families living in poverty, those with disabled members, and elderly individuals without family support.
The outreach programme, held at the Kechara Food Bank in Setapak, highlighted the ongoing challenges of food insecurity faced by urban communities in Malaysia. Volunteers distributed essential items such as rice, canned food, and hygiene products, providing much-needed support to families reliant on monthly aid to meet basic needs.
Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation, remarked on the experience: “Participating in this outreach allowed us to better understand the structural challenges faced by vulnerable communities in Kuala Lumpur. It was a humbling reminder that small acts of service can create meaningful impact when directed to those who need it most.”
Vantage Foundation, an independent charitable organisation launched in 2023 at the McLaren Technology Centre in the UK, has been actively partnering with organisations worldwide to drive social initiatives. Meanwhile, Kechara Soup Kitchen, through its Food Bank, aims to prevent at-risk individuals and families from falling into homelessness by supplying dry goods and essential items to stabilise their living conditions.
