For 10 years, Scholars of Sustenance has proudly pioneered food rescue in Thailand — turning surplus into opportunity and building a movement for lasting impact!
Together with partners across sectors, both domestic and international, we fight hunger and food loss and waste while building a food system where everyone in Thailand can equitably access good food — regardless of income, status, beliefs, or any condition that divides people.
What started a decade ago has grown into something much bigger. In Thailand alone, SOS has served more than 80 million meals to over 6,600 communities. Together with our teams in Indonesia and the Philippines, Scholars of Sustenance has now served more than 100 million meals across Southeast Asia.
“We aren't slowing down. We are gearing up for 2026 in a big way. The "happy faces" of our recipients—the children in the villages and the families in the slums—are etched into our memories and serve as the fuel for our upcoming ambitions. I want to extend a personal invitation to anyone reading this: Jump on an SOS cooling truck. Join us for a distribution. Witnessing the transition of rescued food into a life-saving meal is an experience that cannot be erased.”

5 Highlight: The Better future project
Organized by Central Pattana, this initiative brings together organizations, communities, and changemakers to inspire meaningful action toward a more sustainable future—driven by collaboration, innovation, and positive social impact.
“Our vision extends far beyond providing a single meal. Time and again, surplus food has proven to be a vital resource during national emergencies and a critical lifeline for uplifting vulnerable communities. We believe that when a family’s hunger is relieved, their limited resources can finally go toward other essential needs — fostering better health and a higher quality of life. We are not just moving food; we’re building a resilient system to ensure that no one goes hungry in a land as abundant as Thailand.”
