Siam BKK Food Bank

Siam University works closely with the Phasi Charoen District Office in various projects. A recent initiative is the “Phasi Charoen Well-being Node”, involving 45 local communities in identifying pain points and finding solutions to the sustainability issues. The project identified economic, health, and food issues as priorities. In 2024, the Faculty of Communication Arts performed training and follow-up studies in Sirin and Friends, Rung Fa 36, and Petch Kasem 56 communities with the slogan “Green tent, Green vegetables, Good Health for all Community Members.” An example of this year's activities is the “Food Bank: City of Sharing” project of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. It aims to reduce food waste by establishing a system to collect and deliver “food surplus” from donors to recipient donors. Our Student Union took the lead in organizing a series of “Food and Goods Donation” from February to April 2025, inviting administrators, faculty members, staff, students, and the general public to share and donate food and consumables for the needy and vulnerable persons, including the elderly, handicapped, bedridden patients, low-income persons, and the unemployed. Besides food and goods donation, we also organized a 3.5 km. “Siam Walk & Run 2025” on April 5, 2025, to give financial support to the food bank project. These activities are supported by President Pornchai Mongknowvanit in the capacity of Chairperson of the Committee in Driving Participation for the Development of Phasi Chareon and the Seacon Bangkae Department Store Center.

Safety Food City

With recognition of the importance of food safety on the campus and to comply with “Safety Food City” of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Siam University arranged regular programs in food sanitation and food safety inspection. In the first semester of the academic year 2025, the environment and sanitation department of Phasi Charoen district office, in collaboration with the Public Health Service Center 62 gave an inspection of our university canteens. All food vendors are asked to swab their hands and Test Kit selected samples of food and food containers were tested for safety and quality. Test kits were used to ensure that the students received non-pathogenic or contaminant-free.
