Press Statement for Food Fair – 26 August 2013
DAP Wanita Sibu is organizing a fund raising food fair on 5 October (Saturday) to be held at 16, Lorong Chew Siik Hiong from 8am to 1pm.
Irene Chang, its chairperson said there are 2 objects for organizing the food fair.
The first object is to raise funds for their wanita projects / forums for the coming year and which forums shall focus on women, family and social issues in our community.
Chang says, “Our wanita intends to organize forums or activities for single mothers, forums on health issues and on educating people on the vices of social ills like gambling which has been causing a lot of social problems in our society. Some of the speakers, who are experienced in these fields, are from West Malaysia and who shall of course, need food and accommodation for their stay here.”
The second object is to contribute to charitable organisations. Fifty percent of the proceeds earned from the food fair will go towards providing some necessities to the Old Folks Home in Jalan Ulu Oya, Sibu.
“We understand that there are presently 88 senior citizens in the centre and we shall arrange to go in sometime to visit them,” Chang says.
For the items to be sold at the food fair, there will be food items like bags of rice, dumplings, drinks, cakes, eggs, noodles. For non-food items, pet foods and attractive ang pows packets will be on sale.
There are also 10 boxes of Ubah Mooncake and Ubah Light Cheese Cake (1 kilo) being offered for sale for RM100.00 each.
