Do Our Bit for Charity...

[crazygirl]

don't think there's a previous thread on this, thought it'll be nice to start one...

let's list whatever charity sites and good causes that we could all do our bit for (without having to fork out an arm and leg).

starting with these:
- <b>Donate Your Old Shades This Xmas</b>
- <b>Stop The Hunger</b> (just click once per day to help)
- <b>The Hunger Site</b> (just click once per day to help)

please add on to the thread if you have any other charitable activities/ sites too

Season to give and share...

There are sharity boxes all over singapore and they want brand new donation items like diapers, canned food, instant noodles, and other groceries.

[huishan]

Mango girl, are the sharity boxes around only during the christmas season or perm? Am I blind or what, but where are some of these boxes that can be found?

[poochi]

Not exactly a sharity box, but East Point's and Tampines' NTUC outlets have charity dropoff points for new groceries. The programme is jointly organised by NTUC and the Boys' Brigade.

[huishan]

Thank you poochi!

These outlets are perm. And yes, it's a sharity gift box. This event is held once a yr to fulfill the wishes of some children, family and elderly. You may deposit general food items there. Other way to lend your helping hand is to visit www.bbsgb.org.sg. Or you may call up the hotline and request to fulfill wishes.

The dropoff points are permanent...? I only saw them there recently. I must be blind! LOL.

More direct link here, you can see they are behind the online target of $150,000 (currently only at $45,730), click on "Share a Gift" for a selection of pre-packaged Sharity hampers to donate.

Please donate to a great cause this festive season!

<i>"Dear Friends of Singapore Children's Society

To many, a mobile phone strap is lauded for its many utility functions; ease of locating your ringing phone in that ever cluttered bag, and of course, perks up your phone! On 18 March 2005, an extraordinary, cause-worthy meaning will be added to the existence of mobile phone straps: to bring hope, add colours to little lives, and help many disadvantaged children make a connection for an better future through our Street Sale
2005 fundraising project.

An inaugural fundraising project by Singapore Children?s Society, Street Sale 2005 aims to raise S$150,000 for our children through the island-wide public sale of mobile phone straps bearing the Children?s Society?s Logo.

A total of 80,000 attractive phone straps available in four vibrant colours will be sold at a minimum S$4 each on the streets on 18 March 2005.

We invite you to share your love, hope and dreams with the 12,000 needy children, youths and families under our care by adopting our hand phone straps in blue, pink, black and white!

You can place your orders by filling up the attached order form and fax it back to us. A minimum order of 4 pieces in one set at S$20 (including postage) is required for postal order.
