Nestle Malaysia has once again teamed up with the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) to support communities in need during the monsoon season.
With the aim of delivering much-needed aid to those affected by the current floods, the initiative reflects the strong collaboration between Nestle Malaysia and MRC, built on the shared goal and both organisations’ long-standing commitment to helping vulnerable communities.
Nestle Cares and MRC volunteers packed 5,000 boxes of essential food aid for distribution to Temporary Relocation Centres (PPS) in the East Coast region and other affected areas.
Each box contains a range of Nestle products, including Milo, Maggi, Nescafe, Nestum, Nestle Gold Cornflakes, EveryDay Milk and Nestle Omega Plus, providing sustenance and nutritional support to flood victims.
The total contribution of products in-kind and financial donation are valued at RM2 million, which is part of Nestle Malaysia’s total contribution of RM4 million to MRC this year. These funds have been channelled towards emergency response measures, bolstering flood preparedness and supporting recovery efforts.
Nestle Malaysia chief executive officer Juan Aranols said the company continues engaging with the communities in overcoming challenges in the face of natural hazards.
“As a company that has been deeply rooted in Malaysia through our 112 years of presence, we continue to engage proactively in support of communities, especially when confronted with moments of distress or special need.
“The monsoon season brings significant challenges to many fellow Malaysians, especially in the East Coast region.
“Our continued collaboration with MRC allows us to extend timely aid, ensuring that flood victims have access to nourishing meals when they need it most,” he said.
“My deepest appreciation goes to our dedicated volunteers who, once again, have joined hands to pack 5,000 food aid packs that that will be on their way to flooded areas very soon, under the very close and effective coordination by MRC,” Aranols added.
MRC chairperson Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz Almarhum Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah said Nestle Malaysia’s consistent support for flood relief efforts has been a lifeline, helping them to broaden their reach in providing assistance to flood victims.
“These contributions bring immediate relief and play a vital role in restoring hope for families facing immense difficulties. It is through strong partnerships like this that we can truly make a meaningful difference,” she said.
