On 13 May, staff and beneficiary representatives from HCSA joined with over 20 other social service and community organisations for the launch of Bless Our City Grant Programme – a joint initiative by Far East Organisation and Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC).

The Bless Our City Grant will allow HCSA Highpoint Halfway House to develop after-care support services for discharged residents, thereby supporting them in their transition back to society and reducing their chances of re-offending.

Graced by Deputy Chariman of The People’s Association Mr Chan Chun Sing, the event opened with heart-warming performances by the Rare Disorders Society (Singapore) and The New Charis Mission. Participants were also invited to build their own ‘Bless Our City’ pack by picking out nutritious food items from the respective booths. They were then encouraged to pen a gift card and gift this pack away to bless it forward.

We are grateful to Central CDC and Far East Organisation for choosing HCSA Highpoint as a beneficiary partner for this programme! As what Ms Denise Phua, Mayor of Central Singapore District, rightfully said: “It’s important for businesses to not just do well, but do good”.
