SINGAPORE - People who want to help the less fortunate this Christmas season can now buy food bundles for $25 each to support families in need.

Packed by local charity The Food Bank Singapore, the bundles contain staples such as rice, oil, salt and vermicelli as well as snacks, and will be given to beneficiaries from Montfort Family Services.

A part of the Santa Express charity drive, the effort aims to benefit some 260 families before the new year, said event organiser Stellar Lifestyle, a managing agent for advertising and retail spaces, in a statement on Wednesday.

Stellar Lifestyle and IncuBaker, a co-working kitchen provider, will also host a charity event next Tuesday at Hive by Stellar Lifestyle, an innovation hub near Esplanade MRT station aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises.

Visitors can enjoy a Christmas performance by local busker Daniel Ng, who is a member of the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped.

A donation booth will be set up for visitors to contribute to The Food Bank’s Bank Card Programme, which provides beneficiaries with an e-wallet to receive food from participating outlets or the charity’s vending machines.

A festive baking class will also be conducted for children of the beneficiaries from Montfort Family Services.

Stellar Lifestyle president Tony Heng said: “As we celebrate this season of giving, Stellar Lifestyle is honoured to give back through Montfort Family Services and touch the lives of Singaporean families.”
