Overview

KSK serves over 100,000 meals per year through street and static distributions. Each one of those meals is prepared and arranged by volunteers. You’re literally the production line that makes everything else possible.

Preparing and arranging ensures quality control. As you prepare, you check that meals are complete, portions are fair, and food is fresh. You’re the last line of quality assurance before meals reach hungry people.

What You’ll Do

Volunteers will prepare and arrange the food into their respective sets to ensure each distribution location receives the correct sets and quantities for distribution during the meal set distribution activities.

  • At the venue, volunteers have the option to purchase a KSK t-shirt for RM35, which is recommended for use when distributing items. Beneficiaries recognise and trust the KSK t-shirt. Alternatively, you may use your existing KSK t-shirt if you have one.
  • Volunteers can opt for the New Volunteer Package for RM50, which includes one KSK t-shirt, one Empowerment cookie tub, and a tax-exemption receipt

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can pregnant women volunteer?

    We don't recommend it due to the physical nature of some activities and outdoor conditions.

  • Can I volunteer as a student?

    Yes, students are always welcome! However, we understand transport is often a challenge, so we've created an alternative pathway.

    If you'd like to interview our staff or beneficiaries for your academic work, we ask that you also contribute to KSK in one of these ways: purchase handmade cookies from our Empowerment programme (which directly funds single mothers' income), or make a monetary donation. This contribution sustains our work whilst enabling us to support your research. In exchange, you'll gain valuable insights from real stories, and your work helps amplify our mission.

    To get started, email your questionnaire to and let us know what you would like to donate.

  • What happens after you applied for volunteering?

    Our operations team will contact you within one business day to arrange availability. If the volunteer slot is unavailable, we’ll suggest alternative activities.

  • What happens after slot confirmation?

    We'll set up a WhatsApp group so your team stays connected with us. Invite whoever needs to be in the loop. Everyone will fill out a quick onboarding form and share their car plate number if they'll be driving on the volunteering day.
