#LoveOurSeniors Bread Delivery

A nutritious loaf of bread can help supplement the dietary needs of vulnerable seniors for a week.

CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group, is partnering TOUCH Community Services to provide this regular staple food to the seniors across Singapore as part of their daily diet. This activity is supported through CHF's #LoveOurSeniors initiative which aims to improve the quality of life of seniors through better nutrition, enhanced well-being and improved living conditions.

Volunteers are needed to deliver the bread to the beneficiaries residing in various locations via personal or public transport, according to the provided schedule. A volunteer briefing session will be organised to equip the volunteers with the necessary information for this activity.

To prioritise the safety of our senior community members, all volunteers must be fully vaccinated, with at least one booster shot if eligible. This additional measure helps to minimise the health risks to those who are most vulnerable, and it allows us to confidently provide essential services.

Volunteers with children aged 12 years or older are more than welcome to join us and make a difference in the lives of vulnerable seniors. It's a great opportunity for some quality family time while giving back to the community!

FAQs

How many people are there in one team?

Each team usually consists of 2 - 4 pax.
Can I choose whom I would like to partner with?

Yes, you can indicate your preferred partner volunteer in the registration form. However, your partner must also be a tenant in a CapitaLand building.
Can I still join the bread delivery if I don’t drive?

Yes, you can. We will either pair you up with another volunteer who drives or with other volunteer(s) who is/are also not driving, so you can take public transportation/travel on foot together.
How many loaves of bread is each team delivering?

Each team will deliver 10 - 30 loaves, contingent on the distance between each delivery location and the number of volunteers per team. Locations will either be a short drive away (for those who drive), short public transport away or via foot. Addresses will be given on-site via a hardcopy list. More details will be provided during the briefing on 2 October.
Will carriers be provided for us to put the bread in?

No, carriers will not be provided. Please bring your own reusable bags for this purpose.
Can we sign up as a group if we have a group of colleagues who would like to participate in this together?

Yes, you can. Please drop us an email at ywc@capitaland.com to request for the group registration form.
