Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Helping hand from Dupont's staff

We were delighted to have staff from Dupont joining us in MOW Food Bank delivery of groceries last Monday, 20th Oct. It was the first of Dupont's CSR initiative, and the staff were eager to contribute to this cause.

First stop was to Mdm Ngai and her boys in Kepong.

Then onwards to Mdm Wena who was about to leave for work. Then to Ng Geok Poh's flat where the husband was waiting for us with his trolley.

We got to the Chok's flat in Jinjang just as Lucas and his grandma reached home after school. Lucas was not in a good mood and refused to smile although Bro Ivan was teasing him.

The last house we visited was Mr Maran in Sentul. Both husband and wife were out, but the children welcomed us. I must say Sasi is looking well despite giving us a scare a few weeks ago when he was in the ICU. Doctors said his lungs are badly damaged but he must have a very strong will to live. When I called out his name, he gave me a beautiful smile ... made my day!

Thank you to our new group of volunteers from Dupont and we hope the experience last Monday will inspire them to press on with more CSR activities.

And of course, thank you to all our generous donors to our MOW Food Bank program for your continued support.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Dedicated volunteers ensure groceries are delivered every month

Without fail, our regular MOW volunteers (Brother Andrew, Bro Ivan and Bro Swee Keong) will spend a good part of their Sunday morning, every month, to deliver groceries to our MOW Food Bank families. Their commitment to this task is truly commendable, and very much appreciated.

Groceries were delivered to families in PPR Desa Rejang and Gombak Setia.

Thank you to our donors of MOW Food Bank Program ... your kind contribution ensures the families and their children do not go to school hungry.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Giving in the spirit of Merdeka

“Malaysia where love grows”, the theme for 57th Merdeka celebration ... this describes exactly what Meals on Wheels is trying to achieve, i.e. to encourage GIVING, SHARING, CARING AND LOVING especially with the less fortunate.

In our MOW Food Bank delivery yesterday, we distributed Malaysian flags to our recipients who happily waved the flags displaying their patriotism and grateful for the help they are receiving from a caring society.

One of the recipient, Mr Maran and his family have been in our MOW Food Bank program for the past 2 years. His family recently went through a traumatic time as his 14 year old son, Sasi who has cerebral palsy (and blind), was admitted to the ICU in KLGH, with serious lung infection, high fever and difficulty in breathing. With proper care from the good doctors, and a very loving family, plus all the prayers and blessings, he was finally discharged 3 days ago. He was in the hospital for almost a month. His mother, Vijaya, said he is "50% okay". Doctor from KLGH now visits Sasi at home once a week.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Good News!!!

Remember one of our MOW FOOD BANK family in Sg Besi? The mother, Mdm Yap who had a stroke and bedridden for quite some time, is now recovering. She has been seeking rehabilitation at a stroke centre (recommended by one of MOW's supporter) for many months, and she is now able to sit up. This is indeed wonderful news and we truly hope that she will recover fully in time to come.

When we visited her in Sep 2013 ...

Our donors and supporters, and of course her family's love and dedication have contributed to her remarkable progress.

DEEP APPRECIATION AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION TOWARDS MDM YAP'S WELL BEING.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Groceries in time for Hari Raya Puasa

MOW Food Bank groceries for July were delivered to 11 families in PPR Taman Melati and PPR Desa Rejang this morning by our "veteran" volunteers Bro Swee Keong and Bro Andrew, and a new volunteer, Sis Jocelyn.

As usual, our dedicated volunteers wore their big SMILES during the delivery, a reflection of their joy in being able to do their bit to help the less fortunate.

While Bro Andrew shouldered the box of groceries and a bag of 10kg rice up 4 flights of stairs to deliver to Puan Fazilah, Bro Swee Keong handed over groceries to Puan Zabiyah and Puan Padmini, all in Taman Melati.

Since I was there early with a couple of friends,  we also visited our Happy Child Siti Nurmaisara (suffering from Cystic Fibrosis), who was recently discharged from GHKL after being treated for dengue fever for the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the dengue fever caused her sugar level to rise and she is now being treated for diabetes with insulin.

These friends actually came along to present "duit raya" to the Malay families, a generous amount of RM500 per family.

We then proceeded to PPR Desa Rejang, where another 8 families received their groceries.

Six Malay families in this PPR also received their "duit raya" which will definitely come in handy for last minute purchases of new clothes and raya cookies.

Puan Fazidah and her family were delighted with the surprise gift. Her eldest daughter did well in her SPM exam last year and is now doing matriculation in a local university.

Aida, who is our very capable "leader" in Desa Rejang, also helped us source for an orphanage for us to celebrate Raya. Do look out for our blog post on this very soon.

We truly appreciate the generosity of our donors for the groceries and the "duit raya" and of course our volunteers who helped with the delivery today ... a BIG THANK YOU on behalf of the families.

We wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.

MOW FOOD BANK delivery on 25 May 2014.

We never missed any of our FOOD BANK delivery despite not posting our FOOD BANK delivery due to short of volunteers in helping us with the social media. 
We have this month in May delivery to Desa Rejang & Taman Melati Gombak for 12 Families.

“When we give cheerfully and accept 

gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

 'To Give & Give!' 

The Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana came about with the intention to provide food for the body & mind to the needy and disadvantage regardless of race, creed & religion. Incepted in 2010, the Meals on Wheels programme has fed, clothed, cared for and make friends with over few thousands. 

Meals on Wheels, throughout the years have garnered great support and encouragement from the public. We grew from strength to strength because of our pure intention to give unconditionally.

A simple fellowship gathering was held on 12 Jan 2014 with members, invited guests, donors and volunteers of Meals On Wheels Ti-Ratana, to share our journey and also announce our five (5) projects:

1) MOW CELEBRATE2) MOW FOOD BANK3) MOW LIBRARY/ MOBILE CLINIC4) MOW GRANT5) MOW HAPPY CHILD

MOW CELEBRATE 

There are many out there who are not able to afford to celebrate during festive seasons or even birthdays. Realising this, MOW will visit a home/orphanage /NGO and celebrate with them during festive celebrations, during your birthdays or any occasion you feel like celebrating with them.

MOW FOOD BANK

The MOW Food Bank programme helps people who are not able to cope with providing sufficient nourishment to their families. MOW FOOD BANK provides monthly supplies of rice, sugar, oil, can food, eggs and other essential groceries.

MOW LIBRARY/MOBILE CLINIC

We build mini library to help spread the love of reading in rural areas and Orang Asli settlements.

We work together with other NGO’s & Doctors to offer free medical check.

MOW GRANT

MOW supports AnimalCare Society & Metta Karuna Animal Rescue team to feed, neuter stray cats and dogs in the city.

MOW HAPPY CHILD

This programme is set up to help children in Government Hospitals who are terminally ill. This programme will provide funds for diapers and special milk powder nutrients for the children. MOW will also visit these children and organise activities to bring cheer to them. 

During the event, our advisor Datuk Chief Dhammaratana announced another project for Meals on Wheels (MOW)  which is offering scholarship to those in need to courses such as Ophthalmology, Dentistry and other Living Skill courses.

This in total gives Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana the opportunity to serve the community with meaningful 6 projects!
