Malaysia, January 4, 2021 – In light of the recent floods, foodpanda Malaysia is encouraging Malaysians to lend a helping hand to the families affected with pandamart Care Packs specially curated to provide them with their daily essentials.
Commenting on this initiative, Kelvin Chan, Director of Operations, foodpanda Malaysia said, “when the flood hit, we received so many messages from our stakeholders that were affected. We knew we needed to do something fast to help as many people as we could. Initially we started off with distributing aid and essentials via our pandamart minivans but this was a quick but not a long term solution. This then led to us creating these Care Packs. These Care Packs enable Malaysians to provide assistance to others within their means, simply because we believe that even the smallest of gestures or contributions can go a long way.”
Among the Care Packs available is the Cleaning Care Pack priced at RM30, that consists of cleaning items such as garbage bags, rubber gloves, powder detergent, bathroom cleaner and scouring sponge. Besides that, also priced at RM30 is the Care Pack for U and Care Pack for Her which consists of mineral water, dry food and other hygiene essentials. Finally, the Family Care Pack that comprises of mineral water, instant noodles, tea packs, chocolate malt drinks, biscuits and hygiene essentials is priced at RM50.

To place an order, users would need to set their address to the participating pandamart outlet and scroll to the Panda Flood Relief Carepacks under the pandamart section. Next, select the carepack of their choice and quantity before confirming their order. Once confirmed, foodpanda will then deliver the donation to the flood victims.
“Through this initiative, we hope to be able to address the essential needs of those affected by the recent flood. We remain committed in doing what we can to help and support our local communities,” added Kelvin.
Prior to the introduction of the carepacks, foodpanda Malaysia has also assisted the flood victims by donating and distributing aid and essentials to those in need across Malaysia via the pandamart minivans. foodpanda is also the first private organisation to assist and complement donation drives and community efforts alongside the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces via the Ministry of Defence, to provide a small helping hand to those that need it the most.
Alongside that, the seven above mentioned pandamart outlets also act as a collection centre for those who wish to drop off aid. Together with various partners, this will then be distributed to those in need in the affected areas.
Start purchasing the care packs from today until the 16th of January 2022 and foodpanda will help you by donating them to those who are affected by the flood through this link https://bit.ly/3pAvmAk.
