SINGAPORE - About 710 seniors will receive items such as groceries, medical aids and mobility devices after transport giant ComfortDelGro donated $200,000 to two organisations last Friday.
Lions Befrienders will use the donation for its Hardship Aging Fund, which supports four initiatives that are designed to cater to the individualised needs of at-risk elderly. Lions Befrienders’ chairman Anthony Tan said that the donation will help alleviate day-to-day expenses for up to 650 seniors. Comfort DelGro Chairman Lim Jit Poh said: “We have traditionally worked closely with organisations focussed on providing assistance to the aged sick as well as the mobility impaired. Over the last two decades, we have given close to S$30 million to charitable organisations across all our operations worldwide.”
