IT ALL STARTED IN
Scholars of Sustenance Foundation (SOS) is the first food rescue foundation in Thailand and was established in 2016.
OUR MISSION
is to enhance the food system in the country to minimize needless loss of surplus food and improve food equity by redistributing high quality surplus food from food related businesses such as hotels, grocers, restaurants, and other suppliers to communities in need in Bangkok, Phuket,
Hua Hin, Chiang Mai and other places in the country every day.

A SYSTEMATIC WAY TO DELIVER SURPLUS FOOD TO THOSE IN NEED.

RESCUE KITCHEN PROGRAM
Serving nutritious meals cooked from surplus ingredients for people in need
More than rescuing food, we desire to serve warm and nutritious meals to the undernourished communities especially during their trying time. The rescued surplus food and ingredients are distributed and creatively cooked right at the community kitchens across different locations. The Rescue Kitchen Program is thriving as it has been shaping extensive associations among the volunteers, neighbors, and their communities. It is truly a meal “cooked by the community, for the community” to relish and relieve.
