This year, for our Girls' Brigade Service Initiative, we decided to partner with YMCA-My Manna Store for a food donation drive. We decided to trust God for His provision as we embarked on this exciting journey, and indeed He has been our Provider!
We would also like to thank all the students, parents and teachers for their wonderful support, for everyone was so enthusiastic in bringing food items to donate... As a result of your kind donations, our food donation drive was a roaring success!
Here are some pictures of our food donation journey:
Food collection days: 29-31 Jul
Our girls were such a wonderful help when they were manning the collection point. They took the initiative to split up the work to sort the food, and some even came on all 3 days to help out! We are so proud of you, girls! =)
The girls starting on their journey & having fun!
Doing some serious sorting here =p
After a while, we ran out of boxes! And the donations kept coming! So we had to stack the food items up the best we can =p Look at all those food! It's like the heaven's warehouse!
It's time to pack! 1 Aug
Our girls came bright & early this saturday morning! Before we started, we had a devotion session by Mdm Juliet, who shared with us on the importance of caring & giving. Ms Tracey from YMCA then shared with our girls a brief background of YMCA and the people we would be supporting through our food drive.
Our girls busy at work! We had a great time helping to sort out the canned food- we had to ensure that the donated items have not expired, then we had to sort them according to the food categories. =)
Look how neat the room looks after the food items have all been packed!
The food items are on their way to their new homes... May the food bless the residents who need them! =)
Acts 20: 35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
