In an initiative that began two weeks ago, Nando’s has given out more than 1,500 free meals to those in need as of last Friday.
The South African restaurant chain’s Singapore outlets gave out up to 300 free meals daily until 1 June. No verification is required.
The meals were available for takeaway from six Nando’s outlets from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. They each include a quarter chicken and a side of Mediterranean rice.
The restaurant chain has also been offering a 50% discount for front-line workers since 13 April. These include healthcare workers, food and beverage workers, supermarket staff and safe distancing ambassadors.
Over 5,000 of the discounted meals have been sold.
To reach out to vulnerable groups in the community, such as at-risk families, senior citizens and people with disabilities, Nando’s is also working with seven welfare organisations to distribute the free meals, including The Food Bank Singapore.
