The challenging times have indeed brought the best out of the SMOU volunteers. Sister Mary and Brother Yong were onsite cheering the volunteers on and serving the community alongside them. Beaming with gratitude, Sister Mary commented: “I am very grateful for each and every one of our selfless SMOU volunteers. They are truly heroes whom we can count on to do amazing work with so much joy. They make it possible for SMOU to carry out the 7 Acts of Care and Share and make a difference.”

In collaboration with NTUC Health, care bags and lunch sets were distributed to the seniors at the outreach. The bags contained daily necessities and protective items so that seniors could continue to keep safe and well during this period. The gesture of care goes a long way to encourage and remind the seniors that their well-being remains a priority for SMOU and reinforces the Union’s value of caring for the community.
