The monthly rations distributed to the FINs usually consist of rice (5kg/10kg/15kg), wheat flour (1 kg), cooking oil (1 kg/2kg/5kg), sugar (1kg), cracker biscuits (125gm), instant noodles (5 x 75gm), mee hoon (400gm/1kg), sardines (425gm), baked beans (425gm), condensed milk (500gm), milk powder (900gm) or Milo (500gm/1kg) and curry powder (meat/fish 250 gm).
The quantity given with regards to rice, cooking oil, mee hoon and Milo takes into consideration whether it is to a single person, two/three persons or four/more than four persons. The ration distribution day is always on the third Sunday of each month from 9.00am to 11.30 am, with rescheduling made if that particular Sunday is an important feastday of the Church.
Safeguarding is foundational to all Caritas’ work. This formation will equip you to identify different forms of abuse and exploitation, and teach practical steps to protect the people we serve and prevent them from further harm.
Parishioners across the Diocese of Penang rolled up their sleeves to aid those in need during the season of Lent. We are grateful for their efforts to give others hope through their actions!
Caritas Penang operates under the jurisdiction of The Titular Roman Catholic Bishop of Penang.
