Feed the Hungry – Lunch Box fundraising

Natashya Khoo — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 07:08:44 +0000

This campaign, held by Sunway University students, is held to fundraise RM1350 which will allow us to prepare 270 lunchboxes for Lunch Box for the Hungry, a programme to help the underprivileged around the Great Heart Community Centre.

As a group of culinary students, we feel that the best project for our community service would be to utilise our skills and expertise to prepare lunchboxes. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, while most people can afford to stock up on necessities, there are underprivileged groups that are in desperate need of help during these trying times. Therefore, we hope that by running this project, we can offer some support for these vulnerable communities.

Funding needed: RM1,350 (RM5 x 270 lunchboxes)
Fundraising period: 17 October – 4 November

Donation: RM50 – RM2000

Lunch Box for the Hungry is a food donation project that aims to feed the hungry, destitute, and poor living within the vicinity of GHCC with the hope that it may ease their burden. Free lunches are given out to pre-registered and walk-in clients in the form of prepacked lunch boxes at GHCC Monday-Saturday (except public holidays) and this requires RM43,680 every month.

Free TCM Treatment is for the underprivileged to receive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment for free. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, GHCC conducts a half-day free TCM check-up and treatment session for underprivileged groups, especially those from old folks' homes.

Classes and Activities are held weekly for children from underprivileged families. Tuition classes for Bahasa Malaysia and English are held every Saturday, while diabolo, yoga, taekwondo, baking, Chinese calligraphy and singing classes are held throughout the month, which requires RM2,000 monthly.

The Community Garden at GHCC covers over 2,000 square feet of land area where volunteers get to learn, work, and sweat together to grow crops of vegetables for the community.

Every donation is highly valued and crucial for us to continue our work. Every ringgit counts!
