*UPDATE!*

Thank you for the overwhelming support for this campaign! Because of your generosity, we have reached our initial target amount of $5k in the past 2 weeks. The organising committee feels that we can do more! Hence, we have decided to raise the crowdfunding goal to $7k so that we can help more low-income families. At the same time, MSIG will also commit up to $7k to match donations to this fund, dollar for dollar. So, keep donating and spreading the word your family and friends!”

COVID-19 has affected many lives but even more so for low-income and vulnerable families. They face severe food insecurity exacerbated by the economic impact of COVID-19. Stay-at-home and quarantine measures have also increased their risks of social isolation.

Staying safe and comfortable, eating regularly and healthily, working from home (with a paying job): these are marks of privilege, yet out-of-reach for many low-income families.

MSIG Singapore is kickstarting this initiative to gift food hampers which will benefit up to 100 low-income families. You can read some of the beneficiaries’ stories below:

Mdm Chan

Mages

Rita

Li Qin

Hayati

MSIG has committed up to $5,000 to match donations to this fund, dollar-for-dollar.

Your support, no matter the amount, will provide much relief to these families and supplement what is currently available to them.

Together, we can make a difference to their lives!
