SINGAPORE - NTUC First Campus (NFC) plans to support an estimated 2,500 low-income families this year through a $350,000 Food and Nutrition Programme.
It aims to support families with a monthly household income below $4,500 - or monthly per capita incomes below $1,125 - and with a child enrolled in any one of NFC's over 140 My First Skool pre-school centres.
The programme, which involves food packs as well as health and nutrition workshops, is funded by donors to NFC's Bright Horizons Fund, which include investment holding company Pavilion Capital, chief executive officer (CEO) and executive director of Seviora Holdings Jimmy Phoon, and FairPrice Foundation, the charity set up by supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice.
