ELATED to be at the high-energy Give and Take Mega Market this morning! A free supermarket shopping experience for families in rental flats with kids aged 19 and below.

With fellow GRC mates Josephine Teo, Heng Chee How, and Wan Rizal.

We’ve had many Give and Take Markets over the past year, but this special edition is the BIGGEST yet!

Our generous, sincere “really-want-to-help” sponsors and volunteers from all 4 divisions within @jalanbesargrc came forth to deliver our residents with a curated suite of quality products and services today.

Aside from our staple of essential goods and services, new entries include clothing (think SHEIN) , carnival games (think Uncle Ringo), and even workshops (air terrarium plant kits)!

Residents who came found it useful and refreshing and love it. And that’s the motivation for us.

I am so grateful and inspired by how the community has rallied together to give our residents ‘The Better Life’.

The ‘Give and Take Market’ has come a long way. It has sustained a year, thanks to our partners and sponsors who come alongside with us to bless our residents.

We were also able to support the livelihood of visually impaired musicians and masseurs from #SAVH by inviting them to the market each month.

If you are keen on contributing to the Give and Take Market, do drop me and my team at Central Singapore CDC a message on the Central Singapore CDC page!
