Food for the needy at charity pop-up

With five children aged 12 to 20 under her care, single mother Siti Aidah Abdullah rarely has a say in what food she and her children eat.

Yesterday, Madam Siti, who used to work as a trolley service staff member at Changi Airport, was one of 500 beneficiaries who were given the chance to shop and choose $50 worth of their own fresh produce - including seafood, poultry, fruit and vegetables - to take home. "We hope to change the way Singapore looks at serving and giving to the community. In addition, this market also allows our beneficiaries to select the items that are truly relevant to their needs, while adding fresh produce and nutrition into the mix of food items that they use to prepare their meals."

How to tell they needy? They look rich.
