Moreover, based on our observation, we do know that there are pockets of unused food within the food industry that can most certainly be put to better use. Therefore, based on our sincere passion for food, The Food Bank Singapore was set out by Nichol & Nicholas Ng. To find out more about The Food Bank Singapore, simply navigate www.foodbank.sg .
