KUALA LUMPUR: Nestle Malaysia is collaborating with Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) volunteers to distribute 4,000 essential food aid boxes in flood-affected regions.
Pre-packed food relief packets are being distributed by 150 Nestlé Cares and MRCS volunteers to affected families and individuals, including those taking refuge at temporary relocation centres (PPS) in the east coast states.
The humanitarian initiative provided much-needed relief to families affected by the floods in the east coast, including Pasir Mas and Rantau Panjang in Kelantan, as well as Dungun in Terengganu.
In addition to providing the community with free food and drinks, the Milo and Maggi trucks were positioned at the Mukim Padang Licin mosque relief facility.
Places in Cameron Highlands impacted by recent landslides as well as different parts of Pahang, Perak, Selangor, and Johor have also received relief efforts.
"The goal of this continuous project is to help other impacted communities as well.
Nestlé's unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes was further supported by its recent donation of RM400,000 to MRCS for the purchase of new ambulances and preparedness ahead of the monsoon season," it said.
This brings Nestlé Malaysia's total contributions to MRCS to RM3.5 million in 2023, further echoing its broader mission to make a positive difference in the lives of Malaysians.
