Volunteers are the lifeblood of Reach Out Malaysia. The organization offers numerous opportunities for individuals to get involved and make a difference.

Testimonials from current and past volunteers highlight the rewarding nature of this work and the profound impact it has on both the community and the volunteers themselves.

 

NEW VOLUNTEERS

Reach Out Malaysia is a 100% voluntary organization operating daily in Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

To volunteer, interested individuals must contact the respective day’s Run Leader to confirm the time and place of gathering. Volunteers receive a briefing before setting out for food distribution.

Most runs commence at 11:00 PM in Kuala Lumpur (except Saturday, which starts at 5:30 PM) and 10:30 PM in Klang. Volunteers must adhere to a Dress Code and Code of Conduct to ensure the safety and respect of all participants and recipients.
