Pop Up Pantry started in August of 2020 out of boredom over beers between Janice & our Co-founder Germaine. They were primary school mates and wanted to give back through volunteerism but nobody responded & they decided to setup a Pop Up Pantry hence the name. This was at Bedok South Road, one saturday morning in Aug. G posted a photo of Jan on Facebook with tinned food, rice, bee hoon, soya sauce, biscuits & milo to hand out to others no questions asked. G’s ability to run events of all scales having serviced top clients in APAC & globally & her multi-tasking skills & connections also found new interests partnering clients in CSR programmes through Pop Up Pantry. It was a win win situation & something very rewarding for Sublime Nation. 

SN Local loco gives back and partners Pop Up Pantry for several initiatives for the community to do good and pay it forward.

#WeLoveHawkers is us partnering with Pop Up Pantry to give care packs to our dear hawkers and buying food from hawkers and giving them out to Delivery riders/drivers & the elderly in the community. Stories were shared with our team, our hearts are extremely full. In a week, we rallied volunteers and visited 13 Hawker centres around the island. 

#ArtuOk is a Mental Wellness campaign launched to thank our Teachers in this pandemic, supporting local businesses in their baked goods and running classes online via zoom. Art therapy class with trained instructors, TGIF Aloha Floral Friday cocktails - classes were held over several weekends for teachers & the public to attend.

#workoutforacause was started to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Foundation for the month of October. Swim 1km, Bike 12 km, Run/walk 3km, you can do it solo or with a family member or a friend socially distanced at your own time and pace. 

It really is nice to connect with the community and just spreading kindness in a small way, a lemonade stand idea which took off via social media in August 2020 during the pandemic.
