9 Million KG Food Rescued and Distributed!
FOOD RESCUE IMPACTS
Since 2016, Scholars of Sustenance Foundation, the First Food Rescue Foundation in Thailand, has been unstoppably and successfully running the food rescue operations. It all started from SOS Bangkok in 2016, Phuket in 2019, Hua Hin 2020, and Chiang Mai in 2021 with its mission to evaluate and enhance the food industry value chain and food system to minimize needless loss of surplus food and improve access to nutritious food for all people. Check out these collective data turned into impressive and impactful numbers!

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EQUIVALENT
Once the surplus food turns into food waste, it creates Green House Gases; Carbon Dioxides and Methane which affect the earth’s temperature and climate change. We have been preventing the food from being wasted in landfill, saving GHG emission while substantially providing supports to the communities. Here reports the numbers of environmental impact equivalencies from our operations performance since 2016. (Based on the calculation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency; https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator)
KNOW OUR BENEFICIARIES
Prior to COVID-19, thousands of communities in Thailand were already economically and socially vulnerable. Amidst the pandemic, there are individuals who are most affected by the outbreak and at risk of being left behind even as recovery and development ensues – including women, the elderly and youth, those who work in small and medium enterprises, vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities (PWDs), persons living with HIV, homeless persons, stateless individuals, migrant workers, or persons belonging to ethnic minorities. Among the broad range of beneficiaries, we altogether have been supporting 500+ beneficiaries in low-income communities, homeless shelters, government facilities, partners NGOs, hospitals, and more since the start of our operation.
