(KUALA LUMPUR, 23 April 2025) – Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, has launched its latest Deliver Care initiative, ElderCare on the MOVE, aimed at bringing smiles and meaningful support to elderly communities across Asia. In Malaysia, this effort sees Lalamove partnering with The Lost Food Project, a nonprofit organisation, to deliver essential food and care supplies to three charity homes in the Klang Valley: Pusat Jagaan Insan Nur Cahaya, Ebenezer Home and Chester Home.

Lalamove users can contribute to this cause simply by doing what they already do — placing delivery orders. By signing up for Lalamove Rewards, users can redeem their accumulated LalaPoints for donations towards the initiative. For every 600 points redeemed, RM3 will be channeled to The Lost Food Project, which will then channel the support to the selected elderly care homes on the user’s behalf. The more LalaPoints redeemed, the more impactful the support becomes.

Alternatively, users can lend a helping hand by placing a Lalamove delivery order to send contributions directly to participating charity homes. By using the promo code [LAWECARE], they’ll receive 30% off delivery fees when sending items to selected homes in Klang Valley via Car, 4x4 Pickup, Van, or Lorry.

This special offer is valid only when Pusat Jagaan Insan Nur Cahaya, Ebenezer Home, or Chester Home are selected as the drop-off locations. For full address details, users can visit the ElderCare on the MOVE campaign page.

Among the essential items to be delivered by Lalamove’s dedicated driver partners are staple food supplies and healthcare necessities, ensuring that residents at the charity homes receive timely and meaningful support.

Meanwhile, Lalamove’s business partner, CARiNG Pharmacy, is also playing a crucial role in the initiative by donating walking frames, wheelchairs and cash vouchers to support mobility and daily comfort for the elderly. Beyond supporting physical needs, CARiNG Pharmacy is also extending its care through free health screenings, including blood pressure, blood glucose and total cholestrol checks. This thoughtful contribution further strengthens the impact of ElderCare on the MOVE as an initiative that prioritises the well-being of the elderly at no additional cost.

This initiative comes at a crucial time as Malaysia moves toward becoming an ageing nation. According to a recent report by the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the country is expected to reach aged nation status within the next 16 years, with 20.5% of its population projected to be over the age of 60 by 2057.¹

With this demographic shift, elderly communities are increasingly affected by limited senior care infrastructure, rising living costs, chronic health issues and social isolation.

“As Malaysia approaches super-aged society status in 2057, it's more important than ever to extend care and compassion to our elderly communities,” said Jane Teh, Managing Director of Lalamove Malaysia. “Through ElderCare on the MOVE and future initiatives, we hope to support and give back to the generations who have helped build our communities.”

“This initiative harnesses our logistics capabilities to deliver meaningful, timely support straight to those in need. By ensuring elderly individuals have access to essential care items delivered by our dedicated driver partner, we aim to enhance their quality of life and nurture a stronger sense of community,” she added.

The ElderCare on the MOVE initiative embodies Lalamove’s vision for empowering local communities to deliver positive change, illustrating how even the smallest deliveries can create a lasting impact. Join Lalamove in making a difference today: https://www.lalamove.com/en-my/eldercare-on-the-move
