Free meals help feed needy families this MCO

SUB team distributes free meals to the needy at Desa Wira.

KUCHING (July 18): The pandemic and the resulting Movement Control Order (MCO) have seen many losing their livelihood as businesses shuttered. Putting food on the table has become a daily struggle for some.

In the spirit of giving back to the community in need, SUB by BorneoTalk launched ‘Free Meals for the Needy’ June 23 in collaboration with La Bella Sposa Wedding Gallery to help feed the less privileged and those affected in and around Kuching.

Warm packed meals are bought from hawkers and small-time food operators suffering from drastic drop in sales during lockdown in the 2-in-1 initiative.

The on-going campaign throughout the MCO period is delivering free meals to needy families twice a week in line with SUB’s agenda to empower, uplift and give back to the community staying true to its motto ‘We Stand By You’.

To date, free meals have been delivered to affected communities in Siburan, Kampung Melayu, Kampung Samariang Lama, Desa Wira, MJC, Batu Gong, Beratok, Tapah, Jalan Ngee Boon Kiung, Jalan Segedup, Jalan Semeba, Kampung Kudei and Bintawa.
