Nestlé aiding communities in crisis

Nestlé strengthens its support for communities affected by East Coast monsoon floods, partnering with the MRCS.

The company’s latest contribution involves a donation of 4,000 essential food boxes, a crucial addition to the RM3.5 million already contributed in 2023.

This comprehensive aid includes both monetary donations and in-kind support, focusing on flood preparedness, essential equipment acquisition, and backing global humanitarian relief initiatives.

To enhance this collaboration, 150 dedicated volunteers from Nestlé Cares and MRCS united to assemble the 4,000 food relief packs.

These packs, a fusion of Nestlé’s renowned products like MILO, MAGGI, NESTUM, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS, and NESCAFÉ, along with hygiene kits, will directly benefit individuals and families in Temporary Relocation Centres and flood-affected homes across the East Coast.

Unwavering commitment to support communities

Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestlé, expressed the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting distressed Malaysian communities.

He emphasised Nestlé’s dedication through various outreach programmes, stating, “Through this partnership with MRCS, we hope to bring some support to the communities and families affected by the monsoon season, providing relief during these challenging times.”

Aranols extended gratitude to Nestlé Cares volunteers for their role in preparing the 4,000 Food Relief boxes.

Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz binti Almarhum Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, Chairperson of MRCS, expressed deep gratitude for Nestlé Malaysia’s continued support.

She acknowledged the critical role Nestlé’s donation and provision of food aid play in assisting East Coast flood victims.

In times of crisis, collaborative efforts from organisations like Nestlé make a positive difference in the lives of those in need.

As the monsoon season tests resilience, Nestlé’s collaboration with MRCS stands as a beacon of hope.

As these relief efforts unfold, Nestlé’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by natural disasters.
