The Lost Food Project
The Lost Food Project is a Malaysia's leading sustainability-led foodbank, rescuing quality, nutritious surplus food (that would otherwise end up in landfill) and distributing it to those in need. Working with retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, TLFP has been able to distribute over 19.3 million meals since launch in February 2016. A total of 6.7 million kg of food has been diverted from landfill, redirected to feed those in need and consequently saved a staggering 18.9 kg of greenhouse gas emissions. Surplus food is not waste. It is in date, edible food that is considered excess and is therefore still fit for human consumption. In addition to fighting food insecurity, The Lost Food Project also distributes non-food items to fight hygiene and period poverty. Working with multinationals, personal care products (such as sanitary towels, toothbrushes and shampoo) and household care items (such as laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid) are also given to our charity partners. The Lost Food Project currently donates to over 80 charities, as well as weekly distribution programs with sixteen *PPR housing projects reaching approximately 100,000 B40 recipients per month. (*Government low-cost housing) Visit www.thelosfoodproject.org for more information on how to get involved.
