Siem Reap Food BankThe Siem Reap Food Bank (SRFB) was foundered in March 2020 by Naret Chhoy, the Director/Trustee of Ability Fair Trade Village (AFTV), The initial aim of the food bank was to provide food support for GFTV members living with disabilities to help them through the COVID-19 economic crisis. However, it soon became obvious that food insecurity in Siem Reap Province had a more permanent face and that among the elderly and single-parent families there is a long-term need for food support.
The Siem Reap Food Bank (SRFB) will help any family who is genuinely in need of food support, whether their situation is temporary or long term, providing there are funds available. DONATE NOW! |
