Boys’ Brigade Sharity Gift Box appeals for gifts, sponsors
Channel NewsAsia - Wednesday, November 12

SINGAPORE: The Boys’ Brigade Sharity Gift Box returns for its 21st year, but Singapore’s longest—running charity project is facing difficulties raising enough funds for its annual operating expenses.

So far, about half of the S$211,000 needed for the project has been raised. This amount will go towards warehousing, operations, transport and administrative support.

In these hard economic times, the Sharity Gift Box hopes to collect general household items and specific gifts for 28,189 beneficiaries.

Of these, 3,000 are on the Public Assistance Scheme, and the remaining come from 171 Voluntary Welfare Organisations.
