FairPrice Foundation extended its support to Ren Ci
Hospital with a cash donation of S$600,000 over a
three-year period. The donation would go towards
helping Ren Ci Hospital to provide quality nursing and
medical care for its residents. The cheque presentation
ceremony was held at Ren Ci Nursing Home, where
FairPrice volunteers give their time on a regular basis.
To better the lives of the needy in the community,
FairPrice Foundation donated S$1 million worth
of FairPrice vouchers to provide daily essential
needs for low-income families. More than 20,000
families and individuals received their vouchers
through all 87 Citizens Consultative Committees
and selected welfare organisations. The donation
was presented to Advisor to Jurong GRC
Grassroots Organisations, Mr Tharman
Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister for Finance.
FairPrice’s Ambassador for Active Seniors, 79-year-old
Mr Tan Howe Liang who is also Singapore’s first Olympic
medalist, would be championing active ageing through
the “Celebrating Active Seniors” programme. FairPrice
contributes significantly to the employment of mature
workers. Since 2002, initiatives were introduced to
engage not only the senior staff but also the senior
customers. These include the Seniors Discount Scheme
which also encourages senior shoppers to stay active
by shopping with their families.
