Chairman’s Message

Loving Heart Jurong was founded in 2004 as a community-based organization serving disadvantaged families in Jurong. Our flagship programs include the Meal and Transport Scheme (MTS), Food Gift Distribution, Free TCM, Free Tuition and STAMP. Our vision is to be a bridge between those in need and those who can help, acting nimbly to tackle the ‘nooks and crannies’ of evolving fault lines in the community. We believe that by working together with our partners, we can build a more compassionate and caring community.

2022-23 was a landmark year for Loving Heart. We revamped our flagship Pupil Breakfast Scheme, which has supported over 500 students every academic year with $2 million meal vouchers disbursed since inception. The newly formed Meal and Transport Scheme (MTS) has commenced briskly with enhanced levels of assistance, concentrating on students who are struggling to access existing support schemes. MTS will be part of a broader umbrella of youth-focused initiatives which we will be rolling out to comprehensively support our beneficiaries on their road to recovery. We have launched Belanja @ Jurong Central in partnership with local businesses and volunteers to help residents with the cost of cooked meals and provide a platform for local residents to ‘belanja’ fellow residents in the community.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our advisers, donors, volunteers, and partners for their steadfast and unflinching support. 2022 was a successful year for fundraising. Your support was invaluable in ensuring Loving Heart (Jurong) could continue to expand our program spending and undertake new initiatives despite a challenging period for fundraising.

We look forward to serving and fulfilling our mission with the support of our Advisers, Patrons, Board Leaders, Volunteers, Staff Members and Service Users.
