Our Beneficiaries

This year, we hope to collect 30,000 units of food items to benefit welfare homes as well as households under the Public Assistance Scheme in Bedok.

Beneficiaries under the PA scheme are normally the elderly, and/or people who are unable to work due to some disabilities. Only $400 is allocated to a 1-person household. While this amount can go up to $1350 for a household with 4 people, it may still not be enough for these recipients.

We're also looking at helping households under the ComCare Fund and elderly living in 1-room flats. The ComCare Fund (or the Community Care Endowment Fund) was set up by the Government to help needy, low-income families tide over difficult financial situations, and work towards achieving self-reliance. It also aims to help the needy who require long-term assistance (such as the elderly, or persons with disability) to integrate into the community.

We are also looking at helping the following beneficiaries:

Zion Home for the Aged

Zion Home for the Aged, situated in Bedok North, is a sheltered home for aged females. It was established in 1979 by the Zion Presbyterian Church, in response to a call from charitable organizations to help care for the destitute.

Zion Home for the Aged provides services such as residential care, respite care and day care. Some activities it holds for the elderly include weekly physiotherapy sessions, as well as outings to places of interests during festive occasions.

Bethesda Care and Counselling Services Centre

Bethesda Care and Counselling Services Centre (BCCSC) was started in June 1996 by Bethesda (Bedok-Tampines) Church, with a vision of reaching out and meeting the needs of the community in the Bedok area. Since then, this voluntary welfare organization (VWO) has been serving the needs of people from all walks of life in the community.

BCCSC has helped many members of the community through its wide range of services, which include its youth programme, elderly programme and counseling services. Examples of such services would be the Meals-on-Wheels service for the elderly, where 2 meals are delivered daily to their residences, as well as its Food Rations Assistance service, where BCCSC provides monthly food rations to families and individuals who need help during difficult times.

Xin Yuan Community Care

As one of our beneficiaries for Project C.A.N. VII, we have decided to extend our help to them again this year!

Xin Yuan Community Care is situated in Toa Payoh, and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the care and support of the needy elderly, as well as the education and mentorship of children from low-income families.

Programs include in-home support services, where volunteers pay visits to the residences of the elderly, and help them with activities such as plumbing, electrical maintenance and housekeeping, as well as food and nutrition programmes, where volunteers distribute cooked food or donated food supplies such as canned food and rice to the needy elderly, or children from disadvantaged families.
