What Free Food For All Ltd does

Free Food For All Ltd (FFFA) is a Singapore-registered charity (IPC status, UEN 201503391Z) founded on 4 November 2014 by the late Nizar Mohamed Shariff ('Big Bear'), initially operating from Darul Aman Mosque. The organization provides free, nutritious, halal-certified Ready-to-Eat (RTE) meals to vulnerable populations across Singapore using proprietary retort packaging that delivers a 1-year ambient shelf life without preservatives or refrigeration. It serves low-income households, elderly and disabled individuals (including non-ambulant seniors), migrant workers, economically stressed individuals, and children from marginalised families, with cumulative reach of over 250,000 beneficiaries across 10 designated community zones islandwide. The charity operates three core programmes — the RTE Meal Programme (delivered via an Automated Programme for monthly fixed deliveries and an App-Based Programme via the FFFA mobile app for flexible beneficiary selection), the KidsLuvIt! enrichment programme providing guided cultural and educational outings for children, and a Food Redistribution Programme that channels surplus food from corporate donors into community zones. As a non-profit, Free Food For All generates no commercial revenue; it is funded entirely through individual donations (via its website and giving.sg), corporate CSR sponsorships, and government grants, with all food assistance provided completely free of charge. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Shaik Ahmad, with operational leadership under General Manager Ain Hamzah and a small specialist team of 9 staff including welfare, volunteer, logistics, and admin functions.
