Project #MakeShoppingMeaningful

Packing Event – 26th Oct 2017

Venue: Down Syndrome Association (Singapore)

In support of Project #MakeShoppingMeaningful, a group of celebrities, social media influencers, and retailers kindly donated a collection of new and pre-loved apparel for sale.

A Packing Event was held at Down Syndrome Association (Singapore) where we worked together with our event partners and beneficiaries to pack the donated pre-loved apparel.

All sales proceeds were donated to our Beneficiary Partners – Animal Lovers League & Down Syndrome Association (Singapore).

Down Syndrome Association (Singapore)

The sales proceeds from Project #MakeShoppingMeaningful will help in the running of the following programmes:

• Adult Enhancement Programme (AEP)
  • The AEP is a one-stop transitional programme that provides a spectrum of services for our adults with Down syndrome.
• Independent Facilitation Support Programme (IFSP)
  • The IFSP is a programme that supports the enrolment of children with Down syndrome in regular kindergartens & mainstream primary schools.
• Family Support Services Programme (FSS)
  • The FSS Programme reaches out to parents of persons with Down syndrome by enabling them to work in an informed manner.
  • The endeavour is to ease the stress of the parents by providing a better understanding of the common issues faced, by bringing in experts to share their knowledge and skills with them.

Animal Lovers League

The sales proceeds from Project #MakeShoppingMeaningful will help us in the following ways:

• Cover the monthly expenses of the shelter, which include the following:
  • Shelter rental;
  • Food for the animals; and
  • Medical help and supplies for the animals.
• Assist the community of stray feeders that we work with.
  • They require help with the stray cats and dogs under their care.
  • So, we try to raise funds to help them with the food and medical expenses that they incur while helping the strays.
• Funds to facilitate logistics and to move to new premises.
  • The funds will be used to build and construct kennels in our new premises, in order for us to provide a conducive living environment for the animals under our care.
