KUCHING (July 13): The Association of Churches hall at Jalan Stampin here was filled with hundreds of visitors who showed their support for the Autism Food Fair 2025 organised by the Kuching Autistic Association (KAA).
The annual fundraising programme featured over 85 stalls this year, selling a variety of products and food, as well as stage performances by autistic children and enthusiastic volunteers.
KAA in a statement said this was its biggest fundraising event of the year.

'Each year, KAA targets around RM750,000 to cover the centre's operational costs and due to limited space of our current centre, we have a long waiting list of students seeking enrolment.
'Our new building is set to be completed in Q1 of next year, allowing KAA to accommodate more students. Autism is a lifelong condition—at our centre, we strive every day to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism by providing therapy, daily living skills training and nurturing their unique talents,' it said.
The event was officiated by KAA patron Dato Dayang Morliah Awang Daud, and also present were KAA president Dr Catherine Chen and organising and fundraising committee chairperson Connie Yeo.
