Kechara Soup Kitchen Society

Melaka Hub update **#TeamEffort ⭐️** Let's take a moment to celebrate our incredible Melaka team! Fully operated by dedicated volunteers, they’ve been remarkably independent and consistent in helping those in need. Rain or shine, they've been delivering food to families under their care for years. October is our busiest month at KSK Society, yet the team didn’t hesitate to single-handedly launch our yearly World Food Day campaign, collaborating with local, like-minded entities. Special thanks to Yen Ling, Doubletree by Hilton Melaka, and Planetarium International School Melaka for their recent efforts! While Melaka may be our smallest hub, its impact is anything but small. Each volunteer plays a vital role in our mission, proving the power of kindness and dedication. It’s truly heartwarming to see how they’ve rallied their close networks for donations and support, making a real difference! 🩷 Every one of us is essential to the team, and all efforts—big or small—matter immensely. 🌹 Thank you, everyone, for helping to make the world a better place! 💪

Travel with Purpose is Hilton’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy to drive responsible travel and tourism globally. Through Travel with Purpose, we aim to create positive environmental and social impacts across our operations, supply chain, and communities. During our annual Travel with Purpose Week at Hilton Kuala Lumpur, we had the privilege of partnering with our long-standing NGO, Kechara Soup Kitchen Society. Together, we made a heartfelt impact on our local community by serving over 720 packed meals and personally delivering them to those in need on the streets. Seeing the smiles and gratitude from those we helped was incredibly moving and reminded us of the importance of giving back. We also joined forces with The Terry Fox Foundation and Cancer Research Malaysia for a meaningful Terry Fox Run and an introduction to "Salsation". The energy and enthusiasm of the participants were truly inspiring. The week culminated in a Pink Hike, where those with energy and passion continued to give back. It was a week filled with compassion, community spirit, and a shared commitment to making a difference. The sense of unity and purpose we felt throughout these activities was truly unforgettable.

In Malaysia, homelessness continues to rise, with countless individuals struggling for basic necessities like food and shelter. In response, the Biocon Malaysia Volunteer Community (BMVC) has teamed up with Kechara Soup Kitchen Society (KSK) for a 'Meals on Wheels' initiative to provide relief to the homeless in Johor.   20 volunteers from BMVC and KSK delivered hot meals and dry food provisions to 85 people. We remain committed to ensuring that no one goes to bed hungry, reaffirming our belief that we can make a better world where food and healthcare are accessible to all.

We were thrilled to be at QSR Brands headquarters last week to formalise a significant partnership that has been in progress since 2019! Our Marketing Director, Justin Cheah, represented KSK Society at the MoA signing ceremony. A huge thank you to KFC Malaysia for supporting the Harvest Project, which transforms surplus food into essential resources for underserved communities. Since 2019, we’ve been collecting surplus food from 30 KFC stores, and we’re excited about expanding this initiative to even more outlets alongside The Lost Food Project. This effort aligns with KFC Add Hope's mission to serve those in need, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful work together! #kecharasoupkitchen #surplusfoodprogramme #ksksociety #foodbank #surplusfood

Tony Gee Malaysia Volunteering Weekend at Kechara Soup Kitchen Society   10 members of our Kuala Lumpur office recently volunteered at the Kechara Soup Kitchen Society, packing food ready to distribute. Throughout the two days, the team helped to hand out approximately 300 packs of food. The packs included hot meals, dry food such as bread, and refreshing drinks.   Tony Gee's pledge to unlock social value funding in association with the Summer of Active Travel initiative also meant that the office was able to donate RM1900 from their efforts in 2023, which will aid Kechara in continuing its invaluable work in the community.   Jiao Yin Lee said: 'participating in this charity activity was a rewarding experience for everyone involved. It allowed the staff to give back to the community and fostered a sense of teamwork and empathy. Seeing the smiles and gratitude was a powerful reminder of the positive impact that collective efforts can achieve.'   At Tony Gee we are committed to making a difference in the community and look forward to more opportunities to contribute to worthy causes like Kechara Soup Kitchen.
