MOW Food Bank program commenced in Sep 2012 with 4 families. The program helps people who are not able to cope with the high cost of living in Klang Valley, by providing nourishment to their families, especially those with school-going children and elderly folks.

From January 2013, MOW Food Bank will provide monthly groceries to 13 poor families, all of whom have been screened for eligibility by the MOW committee. The groceries which include rice, flour, sugar, mee hoon, biscuits, etc, cost about RM100 per family per month. Of the 13 families, Families No. 5, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are currently sponsored by individual sponsors, while the cost for groceries for the other 8 families are paid for from TRCC general fund.

A brief profile of each of the 13 families are given below. If you would like to lend a helping hand and support one or more of these families in the MOW Food Bank program, please email us at trccpenchala@gmail.com, and let us know which family you would like to sponsor and for how many months.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness. With your support, these families will have food on their table and their children have a chance to make something of their lives.
