Our History

Food from the Heart is a non-profit organisation that feeds the needy through its food distribution programmes. It was established in February 2003 after Singapore-based Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer read a report in The Sunday Times about bakeries discarding their unsold bread. Stirred, they then decided to channel surplus food from bakeries to those in need.

Food from the Heart started with 120 volunteers in 2003. Our volunteers have since multiplied to over 10,000, and together we reached close to 60,000 beneficiaries across Singapore in 2023.

*Henry Laimer sadly passed away on June 1st, 2022, in Austria. More details here.

[I just wanted to say what an AMAZING evening the Passion Ball was this year! The food was the best ever, absolutely divine, and the singing was just incredible - so grateful to have been there, it was wonderful! Thank you for all of the time and effort to create a special evening - it certainly was unforgettable!]
