Gala Charity Dinner

Our Gala Charity Dinner was held on 16 July 2022 at Jurong Green Community Club. Organised by Mr Seah Hock Thiam and Mr Ong Pang Aik BBM(L), more than 300 guests which included Loving Heart partners, patrons, donors and members of the community attended.

Gracing our event was Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Special Adviser; Mr Lim Boon Heng, Founding Adviser and Chairman of Temasek Holdings Private Limited; Mr Ang Wei Neng, Adviser and MP for West Coast GRC; and Mr Xie Yao Quan, Adviser and MP for Jurong GRC.

The event was a huge success with a total of $479,545 raised through table sales, outright donation and bidding items. Our heartfelt appreciation to Jurong Spring Drum Group for their performance and generous donors as helping hand to support the vulnerable and join us in bridging a more inclusive community!

Support from Civic Organisations

The Civic Group consist of the Chinese Temples and 7th Month Organisations within Jurong GRC and beyond. Each year, civic groups will contribute to Loving Heart through donations and donations in-kind for our clients. They also provide a platform for us to raise funds during their temple events. Their kindness and generosity have enabled Loving Heart to extend our programmes and projects to more families and elderlies in need.

As the organising of civic dinners starts resuming after the pandemic, we are grateful for the support of groups including Ji Qing Tang, Ji Shan Tang, Jurong West 505 He Zhong 7th Month, Jurong West Street 42 Zone 11 7th Month, Management of Makino Asia Pte Ltd, Makino Asia Pte Ltd’s 7th Month Organising Committee, Qiong Yao Jiao Di, Tong Whye Temple, and Yuhua Constituency St 31 Shop-Proprietors and Hawkers Association.

Digital Fundraising

Loving Heart has also expanded our fundraising reach online to garner more funds and boost our online presence. Campaigns were created on Giving.sg, a national giving platform to donate, volunteer and fundraise for programmes such as Food Gift+ and Assist Pro Programme, Project Journey With You, and Belanja @ Jurong Central.

Well-Wishers

Each year, with the help of generous donors, we are able to significantly expand our reach in the communities we serve. As we expand our existing programmes and explore new initiatives, support from well wishers via all other channels such as walk-ins helps food on the table and ensure increased opportunities for further education and skills for struggling families!
