Yesterday was a great end to the week, thanks to ‘Festive Cheers’ at Beach Road’s Love Connect hub.

Through the generous contributions from Central Singapore CDC’s long time partner SI Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, we helped to spread some festive cheers to our elderly residents in Jalan Besar - through delicious rice sets and care packs.

Each pack included mooncakes, on top of daily necessities like drinks, biscuits and soap.

Very grateful to Ms Wee Wei Ling, and her team from Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant for being a part of our ‘Festive Cheers’ programme and doing good with us.

Festive Cheers is #1of52ProgrammeOfferings by Central Singapore CDC that aims to partner with corporates to bring festive joy to residents from disadvantaged backgrounds.

My vision for ‘Love Connect’ at Beach Road is to provide communal dining space for our residents to have warm meals together; meet their neighbours and build community spirit. The vision is yet to be realised due to pandemic restrictions. Today it’s only a daily collect-and-go free food distribution hub.

I am looking forward to the day when the COVID-19 situation improves and we can physically sit down, chat and eat.

Keep safe and well, everyone!

God bless you!
