$15 Easter Sunday Hamper Drive for the Elderly
As part of our food relief efforts in 2020, we gave away special hampers last Christmas to the poorest in the community. In the process, we have sadly come to realise that many of those struggling were elderly people.
It is heartbreaking, especially considering that this pandemic is damaging enough for people in any situation. Having to battle it with the added hurdles of poverty and old age is truly a formidable challenge.
With its very strong Christian traditions, Easter Sunday is one of the most important calendar events back in the Philippines. For people, Easter is about hope, renewal and rebirth to a new life as symbolised by the story of the Resurrection.
Whatever Easter means to us, it is still a very opportune time to lend a helping hand and hopefully bring some joy and comfort to some of the most vulnerable people in the twilight years of their lives.
Please consider donating a hamper or two and many thanks to you all for your time and support.

Donations can be arranged through our bank account below. Easter Sunday will be on the 4th of April and we need a little bit of time before that to prepare things. Thanks again.
The HAMPER will contain the following items:
5 kgs. of rice, 4 canned goods (2 beef loaf + 2 corned beef), cooking oil, a packet of confectionary, powdered milk (not in picture) and the luxury of them all - instant coffee! (a packet makes 48 cups). Cost is $15 per hamper.
