Industrious volunteers from 3 divisions of Aljunied GRC, namely Kaki Bukit, Eunos and Bedok Reservoir-Punggol, braved a dawn thunderstorm on a Saturday morning to serve the community in a special food rations distribution to the needy.
Waking up at the crack of dawn, they began work at 7 o'clock with sleeves rolled up, wading through boxes upon boxes of generous rations, very kindly sponsored by two individual donors and a taoist temple.
This exercise was a challenging one -- although these earnest samaritans were well practiced through volunteering at monthly food distribution programmes in Kaki Bukit, Paya Lebar and Hougang, the usual routine did not entail the repacking of
bulk commodities into individual packs.
Armed with nothing more than borrowed tools and a passion to help the poor, they conquered malfunctioning extension cords, mismatched electric sockets, and uncooperative plastic bag sealers, to repack 250 kg of bulky raw rice into individual portions. Add to each individual rice portion a colourful assortment of cereals, biscuits, milk and beverage mixes, and a deluxe food bag fit for many good meals emerged.
Wiping the perspiration off his brow, MP for Aljunied GRC Kaki Bukit Division Mr Muhamad Faisal kicked off the distribution at 10 o'clock, dishing out the goodies to residents who turned up in person. Volunteers concurrently assisted mobility impaired welfare recipients with doorstep deliveries.
