The events, staffed by volunteers, are usually planned for weekends, but some places may commit to offering porridge on weekdays as well. The distributions tend to end quickly as quantities are limited. Queues begin early, and each person may take away several portions.
The following locations in Singapore have announced that they will be distributing porridge over Ramadhan. All are welcome on a first come, first served basis and while stocks last, unless otherwise stated. Where a time is not specified, it is best to enquire as timings can vary widely.
It should be noted that most mosques in Singapore will offer porridge throughout Ramadhan, often after the asr prayer, which begins 4.25 pm at the start of Ramadhan, and at 4.32 pm at the end of the month. Some mosques may serve porridge at their iftar meal instead.
Porridge may be distributed to congregations on a more regular basis, with other dates/times designated for the needy. A list of the times of distribution for porridge at mosques is available on the Ramadan.sg site.
