The Food Bank Singapore acquires donated food, much of which would otherwise be wasted, from farms, manufacturers, distributors, retail stores, consumers, and other sources, and make it available to those in need through a network of member beneficiaries.
The Food Bank Singapore was set up by Nichol and Nicholas Ng, a pair of siblings running a food distribution business, FoodXervices Inc Pte Ltd. After observing the food industry for more than a decade, they realized the need for a food bank in Singapore. Founded in January 2012, we were given charity status in August 2012 (Co.Reg No: 201200654E) and IPC status in May 2015.
Our vision is to be the prevailing centralized coordinating organization for all food donations and to play a key role in the reduction of food wastage and ending food insecurity.
With Food Bank being a food charity organization, with IPC status, our inventory management must be as accurate as possible. Which means logistical + organizing skills is a must! Interns will be tasked with managing the operations in the warehouse and volunteers to ensure we have an efficient flow ie; donations in and donations out. (you will have to manage lots of food, so you may sometimes need to carry heavy food items).
Additionally, interns will also be involved in the logistics planning process to understand how we are able to impact the needy through our dynamic style of coordination and planning.In this area, you will gain organizing logistical and time management skills.
Skills which will be honed:
- Critical thinking
- People management
- Business management
- Logistics management
