Johor Corporation (JCorp) through Yayasan Johor Corporation (Yayasan JCorp) had launched the Food Bank Yayasan JCorp initiative that aims to provide RM500,000 worth of essential food items to 10,000 households in Johor.
500 food boxes of basic necessities such as rice, flour and instant noodles supply for three months will be distributed to the low-cost housing communities.
The food boxes will be distributed to those in need by Yayasan JCorp Chairman Rozaini Mohd Sani through the local community, which is focused on highly populated residential areas such as Rumah Pangsa Larkin, Rumah Pangsa Taman Cempaka Tampoi, Rumah Pangsa Taman Desa Mutiara, Rumah Pangsa Taman Air Biru Pasir Gudang, Kampung Laut, and Kampung Sepakat Baru, Skudai.
Volunteers from Briged Waqaf Johor Corporation will also assist in the delivery of food boxes.
“Through this initiative, Yayasan JCorp will set up food banks terminal in various public locations and commercial property owned by JCorp such as @Mart Kempas, Taman Dahlia Public Market and estates owned by Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad,” said Rozaini.
