Food Rescue Programme

The Food Rescue Programme (FRP) was created in 2003 and was the first food rescue program created in Indonesia.

 

Since 2003, the YE Food Rescue Programme (FRP) has partnered with the Jakarta Hotels Association to recover surplus prepared and perishable food from 52 four- and five-star hotels in Jakarta. The food is redistributed free of charge to food-insecure scavenger communities in and around Jakarta, reaching over 200-400 children, mothers and elderly people daily, redistributing an average of 3 tons of food per month.

​

To date, the FRP has rescued more than 545,000 kg of food, providing meals to over 1,752,500 individuals across 438,000 families.

 

Food safety is a core priority, and the FRP is working toward establishing a professional food bank to ensure safe, sustainable, and scalable service delivery to vulnerable communities. The Food Rescue Programme is committed to helping provide food and a healthier diet to hungry and malnourished people in the scavenger communities in and around Jakarta.
