Blessed2BLESS is an annual community event to bring joy and hope to children, youths, seniors and families on financial assistance schemes during the end-of-year Christmas holiday season. In 2023, we met the needs of 354 recipients with the help of 655 volunteers, disbursing almost $53,000 in vouchers and gifts. 

After Children’s Fest, our annual children and families community event, was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, Blessed2BLESS (B2B) was started as a pandemic-friendly community event to meet the needs of our beneficiaries on financial assistance. It eventually expanded, thanks to collaborations with grassroots and community partners, to cover recipients in Bukit Panjang, Woodlands, Admiralty, Tampines and Bedok. 

Blessed2BLESS provides material benefit for its recipients through vouchers for household necessities and back-to-school items. However, this comes with a personal touch, as volunteers share a meal with recipients and even accompany recipients on shopping trips using the vouchers. Our goal is to spark off befriending relationships between volunteers and recipients for social support, with some maintaining relationships over the long term. 

This year, B2B will be held from 9 November to 15 December 2024, and have launch events at Bukit Panjang, Woodlands and Bedok (Fengshan). Register as a volunteer starting from 18 August using the form linked below! Training will be provided.
