Commencement of LunchBoxes Giveaway at Blk 614 Elias Road


After the successful launch of our Lunchbox Giveaway Program at Tampines and Yishun areas, as well as a recent monthsary for the project, Dedicated Locals' (DLs') Caring Community is psyched to bring more free lunches to the residents of Blk 614 Elias Road today.


A very meaningful collaborated project by DLs' Caring Community and Willing Hearts, this LunchBox Giveaway program has been ongoing for slightly over a month, and so far the response has been good.


As such, this initiative has steadily increasing its identified locations for lunchbox distribution, to the needy families and elderly citizens.   This is to help them out by providing them at least one meal at day, and allowing them to foster closer bond with their estate neighbours so that they need not dine in solitude.



"Whoa, this makes our meal very enjoyable leh, sitting together with people I know and talking together to 
eat!" A Mr. Tan commented with a jolly smile, as he
took his place beside some neighbours and dug into their lunches together. "The first and many more to come!"





Chairman Desmond Lim as well as DLs' Caring Community's Auditor, Thomas Tan were there to personally facilitate the smooth operations of this newly-launch program at Blk 614 Elias Road. With
them was a small entourage of volunteers who would take over the day-to-day operations of lunchbox distribution here in future.


The resident volunteers at this estate are Mdm. Lau and Mrs Lim, both of whom have helped greatly in coordinating of this program in their estate; especially Mdm. Lau, without whom this project here in Blk 614 Elias Road would not have been borne.


DLs' Caring Community gave out a total of 35 boxes of lunchboxes to the elderly and needy citizens today,  and the number is expected to increase very soon, as more residents here hear about this initiative.


DLs' Caring Community hopes to be able to reach out to more elderly citizens and needy families, so as to bring these steaming boxes of lunches to them, to fill their stomachs and help them foster closer relations with each other.

If you would like to contribute as a sponsor of supplies, or in the capacity of a volunteer, please write in to desmond@dlscc.com or heartforthepeople2001@gmail.com today!
