Set to take place on 1st and 2nd March 2025, from 9 AM to 6 PM at Wearnes, 45 Leng Kee Road, this drive-thru food donation event aims to collect 28,000 food items to support those in need.

Donors can simply drive up, pop the boot, and let volunteers take care of the rest. 

How You Can Help  

Every contribution counts. Food From The Heart has curated a list of essential food items that are in high demand. Donors are encouraged to bring biscuits, bread spreads, canned meats like sardines, and tuna, as well as canned vegetables and cooking oil.

Other staple items needed include instant beverages such as cereal, coffee, and tea (with less sugar), instant noodles, Milo, oats, and rice (in 2 to 5 kg packs).

Keep in mind, all donated items must have at least three months of shelf life before expiry to ensure they can be distributed in a timely manner.

Can I Contribute Funds Instead? 

For those who may not have time to shop but still want to support the cause, Food From The Heart has also made it possible to donate digitally.

A simple scan of the QR code provided in the event materials allows donors to contribute funds directly, which will be used to purchase essential food supplies for beneficiaries.  

Show Your Support

Hunger and food insecurity remain pressing issues, even in a modern, developed society like Singapore. While many might assume that food aid is only required in extreme cases, the reality is that countless families, elderly individuals, and underprivileged communities rely on donations to get by.  

If you’ve ever felt like you wanted to help but didn’t know how or didn’t have the time, this is your chance. A small effort on your part for Heart On Wheels (a grocery run, a few extra items in your shopping cart) could mean the world to someone else.  

Mark your calendars for 1st and 2nd March 2025, and take a drive down to Wearnes at 45 Leng Kee Road. Whether you arrive with a carload of donations or just a single bag of essentials, your contribution will be a step towards making Singapore a more caring and compassionate place.

Wearnes Automotive, the exclusive dealer for Volvo Cars Singapore, has recently announced that Volvo has seen a positive 20% year-over-year sales growth in 2023.

The Swedish marque saw its XC40 Recharge EV crossover become its top-selling model for 2024; EV models comprised 40% of its total sales. 2024 is also the year a new all-electric model is introduced into their lineup – the EX30. This is the brand’s smallest-ever SUV, and it is set to arrive in Q2 of 2024.

Wearnes has also stated this achievement is in line with the brand’s global electrification journey. These are achieving 50% global sales of Volvo EV models by 2025, and only offering fully electric vehicles by 2030.

The local Volvo showroom also just completed the installation of solar panels in January of 2024. This is estimated to meet 60% of the building’s power requirements with clean energy.

Wearnes estimates that these solar panels will also allow it to save up to 6,135 tonnes of CO2 over the next 25 years.

Fancy lending a hand, or rather, a heart on wheels? Wearnes Automotive is back hosting a 2024 Heart on Wheels initiative, and it’s all about spreading a bit of love and sustenance to those who need it most.

If you haven’t heard of Food from the Heart, it is a local charity that’s beating hunger with a kind touch, delivering a steady stream of food to those who could use a little extra help. Last year, they managed to help over 59,300 souls, distributing $7.23 million worth of food.

This time around, Wearnes is setting the bar high, aiming to collect 25,000 food items and drum up $150,000 in donations for the residents of Lengkok Bahru.

So, how can you chip in?

Swing by 45 Leng Kee Road on the 2nd or 3rd of March, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and bring along some goodies. Here’s what they are looking for:

• Biscuits (those 200g – 500g packs are perfect)
• Bread spreads
• Canned meats
• Cooking oil
• Instant beverages & Noodles
• Rice (Preferably in 1 to 2.5kg packets)

Can’t make it in person?

No worries. You can still sponsor a food bundle online. And since Food from the Heart has an IPC status, your generosity will also score some tax deductions. And because no good deed goes unnoticed, the first 200 cars to roll up with donations each day will get a little thank-you from McDonald’s Singapore. 

Let’s show that when it comes to giving back, Singapore’s heart is as big as its spirit.
