The campaign, which went viral several days ago on social media, encourages those who are struggling financially to reach out for help without fear or shame by displaying a white flag in front of their home as a sign that they need immediate assistance.
Earlier, FMT had compiled a list of some individuals and organisations helping Malaysians in need. Here are additional names and avenues:
1. Zero Hunger Labuan
This initiative aims to provide food kits for families in Labuan. As at June 30, Zero Hunger has prepared 183 kits while distribution will begin on July 5.
Families who are facing food shortages can fill up this form to have food delivered to them.
Members of the public can also donate the food kit at RM50 per kit.
Individuals may also contact Michelle Alisa at 016-5850586 with regards to donations.
