The Food Bank Singapore Evolves Critical Food Distribution Program With Resources From the Sands Cares Accelerator

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

April 6, 2026 /3BL/ – During its three-year membership in the Sands Cares Accelerator, which provides funding, facilitation and strategic consulting to aid community organizations in achieving greater impact, The Food Bank Singapore has set its sights on expanding and digitizing its Bank Card Program.

With a vision to achieve food security in Singapore, the organization offers the Bank Card Program to facilitate food distribution to beneficiaries, primarily students. The program offers a physical card that is pre-loaded with monthly virtual credits beneficiaries can use to redeem meals from food vendors. The current system involves the manual issuing and tracking of physical cards to enable the redemption of meals.

To improve the Bank Card Program’s efficiency, reach and overall experience for both partners and beneficiaries, the food bank is focusing on digitizing the offering as its Sands Cares Accelerator goal.

In year one of its Sands Cares Accelerator membership, The Food Bank Singapore focused on establishing technology infrastructure for the digital transition and reviewed potential technology partners to support the endeavor, as well as onboarded the selected company.

The Food Bank Singapore also began work on rebranding the Bank Card Program to provide a clearer and more compelling value proposition for donors and partners. The organization plans to launch the new Meals Forward branding with this year’s release of the Hunger Report III, a study on the state of food security in Singapore.

“The resources we have received from the Sands Cares Accelerator equipped us to achieve tremendous progress in updating our Bank Card Program,” Dr. Arthur Chin, executive director at The Food Bank Singapore, said. “Along with funding from Sands, Marina Bay Sands supported us each step of the way as we strengthened the program across technology, branding and fundraising. As we move into the next phase of relaunching the Bank Card Program, we are well positioned to ensure more low-income students can access nutritious food while pursuing their education.”

The Food Bank Singapore joined the Sands Cares Accelerator, Sands’ flagship capacity-building program for nonprofit organizations, in 2025. Nonprofit members work on a strategic program or goal over their three years in the program and receive annual funding, along with goal planning and facilitation, and consulting from Sands and its regions, to help them achieve and sustain their desired outcomes.

In year two during 2026, The Food Bank Singapore will focus on scaling partnerships with food partners to offer more extensive meal options for beneficiaries, expanding fundraising to sustain support for more students in need, as well as relaunching the program as a sustainable, data-informed solution to food insecurity.

The Sands Cares Accelerator was inspired by the entrepreneurial and philanthropic legacy of Sands’ founder Sheldon G. Adelson. Since 2017, the program has provided nine organizations in Las Vegas, Singapore and Macao with focused resources for building capacity to better serve their missions.

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Spring is the perfect time to update home medications, while supporting environmental sustainability with eco-friendly healthcare brands at FSA Store® and HSA Store®

DALLAS, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Approximately 30% of households have at least one expired over-the-counter (OTC) medication at home, which can result in medications that lose effectiveness and fail to provide the relief consumers expect, when they need it most. Conducting an annual review of home medical supplies and replacing old with new products should be a spring ritual for every household. Health-E Commerce®, the parent brand to FSA Store® and HSA Store®, makes this process easy by offering a wide selection of medicine cabinet essentials that are all guaranteed eligible for reimbursement with FSA (flexible spending account) and HSA (health savings account) funds. As an added bonus, shoppers who are focused on environmental sustainability may search a growing selection of sustainable brands for spring at FSA Store® and HSA Store®.


Commit to a healthy spring reset by using tax-free FSA and HSA funds to update your home medicine cabinet and healthcare essentials at FSA Store and HSA Store.

In support of Earth Day on April 22–and to help consumers complete their spring healthcare reset–FSA Store® and HSA Store® will be spotlighting sustainable and environmentally conscious brands throughout the month of April that help support a range of everyday health needs. Use the searchable eligibility list at FSA Store® or HSA Store® to shop for more than 2,500 exclusively eligible products, including the following eco-friendly brands.

  • Sun protection and skin care. With warmer weather and longer days ahead, protecting skin from harmful UV rays becomes a daily priority. Mineral sunscreens and skin care products from brands like Babo Botanicals, cocokind, Derma-E, MD SolarSciences, and Supergoop! help protect skin during outdoor activities, while prioritizing thoughtful formulations and skin-friendly ingredients. Family-friendly skin care options from brands like Mustela support gentle care for babies, children, and adults alike, while products from Kinfield stand up to the rigors of outdoor adventures.
  • Dehydration support. Proper hydration supports energy, recovery, and overall wellness, particularly as activity levels increase during the spring and summer months. Cure Hydration, known for its electrolyte drink mixes made with clean ingredients, offers a convenient way to replenish electrolytes and support hydration throughout the day.
  • Pain relief. No matter how physically active you are, everyone experiences aches and pains from time to time. Use tax-free funds to relieve minor muscle aches with brands like Asutra, which features magnesium-based, FDA-approved remedies for treating pain.
  • Seasonal allergies and colds. The change of seasons can trigger seasonal allergies or the dreaded “spring cold,” which makes it important to have reliable remedies on hand. Products from Genexa, Beekeeper’s Naturals and Ricola can help support relief from coughs, throat irritation, runny nose, congestion, fever, and other common symptoms.
  • Digestive health. Maintaining digestive health is central to overall wellness, with approximately 70% of the body’s immune system located in the gut. Products from brands like Hilma offer options designed to support digestive health, helping to relieve common digestive symptoms and support regularity when your body needs it.

Products from brands like Woolaid help protect sensitive areas and support healing, making them a practical addition to any medicine cabinet or first-aid kit.
  • Menstrual care products. Menstrual care products are a routine healthcare necessity, yet access to products and cost remains a challenge for many, with nearly 1 in 4 U.S. teens reporting they have struggled to afford period products. Over a lifetime, individuals can spend up to $6,000 on these essentials. Using FSA and HSA funds to purchase these products can alleviate some of the financial strain, while options such as menstrual cups and period underwear can help reduce long-term costs and environmental waste. Brands including CORA, The Honey Pot Co., Rael, Saalt, and August offer thoughtfully designed products that support both personal wellness and sustainable product choices.

The TurfMutt Foundation Says Small Actions Yield Big Results this Earth Day 2026

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In celebration of Earth Day 2026, the TurfMutt Foundation calls on Americans to rediscover the environmental power of their own backyards and community parks. The Foundation reminds us that small actions, such as having a balanced landscape of trees, shrubs, grass and flowering plants in our green spaces, promote a healthy planet and a healthy life.


“The green spaces around us are more than just beautiful. They have purpose and are critical infrastructure for communities and families,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation. “Simply taking care of our own yards and parks can add up to big change for ourselves and the planet.” Learn more at TurfMutt.com.

“The green spaces around us are more than just beautiful. They have purpose and are critical infrastructure for communities and families,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation. “Simply taking care of our own yards and parks can add up to big change for ourselves and the planet.”

The Science of Green
Science has proven the benefits of living landscapes, including:

  • Improving Physical Health: According to Boston University School of Public Health, greenery can significantly reduce cognitive decline as we age. Numerous studies, including one from the University of Chicago, indicate green spaces boost heart health.
  • Combating Climate Change: Green spaces reduce heat islands, produce oxygen and capture carbon. They also help control runoff and soil erosion while capturing dust and particulate matter.
  • Increasing Mental Health: Just 15 minutes in a park improves city dwellers’ well-being, according to a study led by Stanford University.
  • Helping Community Connection: Research from the University of Sydney indicates access to nature has proven to diminish feelings of social isolation.

How to Invest in the Power of Parks, Yards & Other Green Space
TurfMutt encourages these steps in your own green space this Earth Day and beyond:

  • Remember Right Plant, Right Place. Take a climate-smart approach to landscaping, ensuring every plant selection actively supports the local ecosystem, your lifestyle and the core purpose of your green space. Consult the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to learn more: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/.
  • Plant Real Grass. Real grass cools the air while capturing carbon, producing oxygen and stopping soil erosion. In fact, according to the Lawn Institute, a 50′ x 50′ turf area produces enough oxygen to meet the daily needs of a family of four.
  • Create a Balanced Landscape. Blend a mix of trees, grass, shrubs and flowering plants with hardy, climate-appropriate and drought-resistant adaptive species.
  • Plant for Pollinators. Choose plants that create a pit stop for bees, butterflies, bats and birds.
  • Educate the Next Generation. Utilize the TurfMutt Foundation’s free digital resources here to educate children about how they can become environmental superheroes.

About the TurfMutt Foundation
TurfMutt, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2024, was created by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s (OPEI) TurfMutt Foundation and has reached more than 70 million children, educators and families since 2009. The Foundation is title sponsor of “Lucky Dog,” the Emmy Award-winning CBS broadcast television show in support of dog rescue and rehabilitation. Both TurfMutt spokesdogs have been rescue dogs, and Mutt Mulligan is a cast character on the show, where her “Mulligan Minute” segments teach viewers about the benefits of green space. In 2024, the Great Lawn at Louisville’s award-winning Waterfront Park on the Ohio River was renamed the TurfMutt Foundation Great Lawn as part of a $1 million sponsorship. Championed by Mulligan the TurfMutt, and through education partners such as Scholastic, Discovery, Weekly Reader, and the USBGC Global Learning Lab, TurfMutt has taught students and teachers how to “save the planet, one yard at a time.” TurfMutt has been an education resource at the U.S. Department of Education’s Green Ribbon Schools, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Green Apple, the Center for Green Schools, the Outdoors Alliance for Kids, the National Energy Education Development (NEED) project, Climate Change Live, Petfinder and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In 2017, the TurfMutt animated video series won the coveted Cynopsis Kids Imagination Award for Best Interstitial Series.
