Community Food Support In the U.S., our employees donated and volunteered with Food For Neighbours, an organisation that helps students struggling with hunger. We fed more than 1,700 students at 29 middle and high schools in Northern Virginia. Employee volunteers also collected and sorted over 18,000 pounds of food for its Red Bag Programme. In recognition of our generous provision of resources and manpower, we were named Food For Neighbour’s first Community Champion. Similarly in Singapore, our employees volunteered at Willing Hearts, a soup kitchen that prepares, cooks and distributes meals to the needy. Together with other volunteers, they delivered 10,000 meals to beneficiaries including the elderly, disabled, low-income families and migrant workers, in over 70 locations within a single day. We also organised a four-day food donation drive for Ju Eng Home, a nursing home with over 500 senior citizens in Singapore. More than 1,500 items were collected based on a wish list. The items were sorted and packed in-house before delivery to the nursing home. Keep Fit and Do Good Over 4,500 employees in Singapore and the U.S. participated in our ST Engineering MOVEment - a four-week physical wellness corporate initiative to walk, run or cycle for charity. Based on the total mileage achieved by the participants, more than $470,000 was raised to help the underserved in communities. In addition to the money raised from the mileage achieved by the participants, we raised $13,000 for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund in Singapore from employee donations made when collecting their ST Engineering MOVEment T-shirts. The Fund supports students from low-income families by providing pocket money to help them through school. International Volunteer Day We organised a volunteer event on International Volunteer Day at Xin Yuan Community Care, a charity in Singapore, to spread cheer to their seniors. On top of putting up a mini concert, folding origami flowers and hearts together, and treating more than 100 beneficiaries to a hearty lunch, we also gave hundreds of goodie bags comprising daily essentials and donated $22,000 to Xin Yuan for its daily operations.
