kobayashiGT Internal Moderator May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 Hi all ppl, My friend and I is organizing a rice donation drive on our National day, 9th of August 2014. We are doing this purely for charity purpose. Please don't come and disturb arh. Last year i donated and went to help ferrying the rice to 2 old folks home and little that we know that these ah gong and ah ma need our help and company. When we were there they welcome us like their children, some are already senile but lively. The condition of the old folks home i went is not in very good condition and they always base on kind people like us to do donation. Last year i got take some photos. We are looking for participant to volunteer in "ferrying" the rice and donating "moolah" to buy rice. Our target is to have 6 tons of rice. If we got excess cash we will turn them into biscuits. 1 bag of 25kg rice is $30. You can also donate nominal amount. But more is always the merrier. For donation matters, you all can look for Ken (8113 8901) or PM me. On behalf of all ah gong and ah ma, i wanna thank you all first! (: If can, make yourself free on the morning on 9th of Aug, we will go volunteer and help out the needy one! UPDATES as of June 2014: 1 bag of rice is $25. For donations: Look for Towkay Ken @ 50 Serangoon North Ave 4, #01-08, First Centre. Or contact him @ 8113 8901. ↡ Advertisement 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 (edited) Perhaps you wanna consider a paypal account so that people can donate online? Will you also be accepting actual rice? And if so - where / when can it be dropped off? ETA - should it be brown rice or white rice? Edited May 20, 2014 by Darryn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurty Supercharged May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 i can donate and help out to ferry, if you need more, i can also ask from my temple. every month, devotees will donate to the temple but there's only this much a monk or members can eat. the rest, we usually donate them away, like madam wong's shelter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so - where / when can it be dropped off? ETA - should it be brown rice or white rice? i agree a PayPal account is easier to receive donation esp under the umbrella of mcf. only an email account is required. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will surely come if in SG. Sorry arh. Might not be feasible. Cause this is not organise by MCF. And somemore paypal got 3% service charge. The 25 bucks in the end will become 22 bucks only.

Why not everyone just show your interest inside this thread like saying how many bags you wanna donate... Collection of money will come on a later stage either meet up or ibanking? How does that sound? I will start 1st. . . kobayashiGT - 2 bags of rice @kurty @ktglfc @ahgong @slyison @opel17 - (ferry rice) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
