FBSG gets transportation boost from GoGoVan this CNY

Project GoGo Gongxi facilitates free pick up from Bank Boxes and selected

GIANT hypermarkets

Singapore  January 19, 2016 – The Food Bank Singapore (FBSG) has announced a collaboration
with GoGoVan that meets FBSG’s transportation requirements for Project GoGo
Gongxi this Chinese New Year (CNY).

GoGoVan, a tech start-up that pioneered point-to-point,
same-day delivery services through a mobile app platform, will support FBSG’s
transportation needs by collecting donations from FBSG’s Bank Box locations and
selected GIANT hypermarkets and transporting them to the FBSG warehouse. This
is part of GoGoVan’s corporate social responsibility efforts this festive
season.

To further encourage food donations, a unique discount code
will be created for corporate donors this festive period. This can also be used
by FBSG and beneficiaries for the delivery and collection of food donations.

“With
the goodwill and enthusiasm of our crowd-sourced drivers, GoGoVan is delighted
to partner with FBSG for this meaningful initiative,” said William Ban,
Singapore Country Manager of GoGoVan.

“GoGoVan’s
founding vision is to empower the community, so FBSG’s mission is exactly what
we stand for as a company – sharing our resources as a community, which goes a
long way towards enriching our society. The GoGoVan team and all our drivers
are culturally diverse, and we believe in the importance of connectedness in
our society. We look forward to more collaboration opportunities in the
future,” he added.

Project GoGo Gongxi will run from January 18 till February
29, 2016.

“We
are truly delighted to collaborate with GoGoVan this festive season. This marks
a major milestone for us, as our first collaboration with a logistics partner.
This partnership has significantly reduced delivery costs, which may have
discouraged companies from donating in the past,” said Nichol Ng, Chief Food
Officer of FBSG.

She hopes that more donors will be encouraged to donate
their excess foods for the good of the community.

Corporates or individuals can donate at selected GIANT
hypermarkets at VivoCity and

Parkway Parade, and Bank Boxes at:

·         City Square Mall: Level 2, besides the
Customer Service Counter

·         Quayside Isle, Sentosa Cove: B1,
outside Management Office

·         NUS OC Techno Edge (Engineering
Canteen)

Alternatively, donors can drop their excess food at the FBSG
warehouse at 39 Keppel Road, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, #01-2/04, Singapore
089065.
