North West Food Aid Fund
The North West Food Aid Fund (FAF) is a local assistance scheme administered by the North West CDC. It aims to complement the National ComCare Scheme by supporting low-income residents who do not meet the National ComCare scheme criteria but are still in need of help tide through financial difficulties.
The fund supports the provision of vouchers to these families, and quarterly care packs distributions to those staying in the rental flats and under the local welfare schemes within the North West District.
North West Food Aid Vouchers
The North West Food Aid Vouchers help low-income families to alleviate their monthly household expenses on food. Each approved household may receive up to $120 supermarket vouchers per month for up to a period of 6 months.
