KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) —AmMetLife Insurance Berhad (AmMetLife) and the MetLife Foundation are working with the Food Aid Foundation to provide food supplies for the B40 families who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Food Aid Foundation works with charities in Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak through its “Food Bags for the Needy” programme which reaches people from rural areas, charity homes and refugees. Employees from AmMetLife and other MetLife entities will volunteer their time with the Food Aid Foundation in helping with the food preparation and distribution.
As with every nation, Malaysia has had to respond to the challenges brought about by COVID-19. A large number of B40 families across Malaysia are under severe financial stress and many are unable to afford basic food staples.
