This Chinese New Year, let’s come together to spread joy, care, and hope to those in need. Everyone can give every day and everywhere by contributing their time, talent, treasure, ties, and testimony.
Whether it’s helping seniors, supporting disadvantaged youths, bringing cheer to migrant workers, or empowering persons with disabilities, your involvement can make a meaningful difference. Explore these opportunities to give back, connect with the community, or simply make someone’s day.
1. Help seniors with spring cleaning
For seniors, cleaning takes on a special meaning, especially as Chinese New Year approaches. It is more than just a chore – it’s a symbolic act of sweeping away the past to welcome a fresh start. However, the physical demands of deep cleaning can be overwhelming for them.
By offering a helping hand, you are not only easing their burden but also sharing moments of connection and care. A clean and organised home brings a sense of renewal and joy for the year ahead.
Join Care Corner in helping seniors prepare for a fresh start this Chinese New Year!

3. Sponsor new clothing for Ren Ci residents
Wearing new clothes during Chinese New Year symbolises a fresh start, prosperity, and hope for the year ahead. However, not everyone has the means to experience this tradition.
By gifting new shirts and pants to the residents of Ren Ci Hospital, you can help them can embrace the festive spirit and share in the warmth of the season. This simple yet thoughtful gesture will not only bring a sense of dignity and pride to the residents but also remind them that they are valued and cared for by their community.

4. Sharing meals, spreading joy this Chinese New Year
We all look forward to the joy of celebrating reunion dinners. For some, they never come, and the holiday season is a stark reminder of isolation.
Free Food For All (FFFA) is on a mission to end hunger in Singapore by providing nutritious meals to those who need them most. They believe no one in our community should go hungry or feel forgotten during this special time. Contribute to their campaign by donating to help families enjoy a warm reunion dinner this season.

5. Help youths start afresh
Chinese New Year is a time of renewal and fresh beginnings. At Boys’ Town Residential Services, youths like Zhi Wei* are finding hope and transformation through care and support.
When Zhi Wei first arrived at Boys’ Town, he struggled with aggression that strained family relationships. Here, he gradually found a safe space to grow. Guided by social workers, he learned to manage his emotions and build self-esteem. Today, he mentors others with empathy and maturity.
This Chinese New Year, Zhi Wei’s family celebrates his transformation. He looks forward to reuniting with them and is keen to demonstrate his commitment to continued growth by helping with the family’s spring cleaning.
Your support can brighten the future for youths like Zhi Wei. Find out more here.
