Can you catch the right items?🧐

A good rule of thumb is to donate items you’d be happy to receive! Donate via a food charity near you - visit FoodConnect Directory for the list: https://foodconnect.gov.sg/directory/

Still not sure what to donate? Keep these in mind:

🍎Nutrition: Choose items with the Healthier Choice logo.
🛒Convenience: Smaller packs (like 1kg rice) are easier to manage for smaller households
✅Food Safety: Ensure packaging is intact and expiry is 3+ months away.

After 10 years out of the workforce, returning to work felt nearly impossible for Mdm Rahayu – but this determined mother wasn’t giving up on her family.

Through MSF Singapore ComLink+ programme, she was connected her to TOUCH Community Services Project 1,2,3!, where a job coach helped her identify her strengths, refine her resume, and rebuild her confidence. Within two months, she found part-time work – and she has since landed a full-time job and secured a BTO flat.

Throughout this journey, ComLink+ family coach Esther walked alongside Mdm Rahayu, working with her to overcome challenges and encouraging her every step of the way.

Mdm Rahayu’s story is one of many examples of how MSF and community partners are joining hands to give families the support they need to thrive. Better Starts With Us💪

In a chat with Minister of State Goh Pei Ming 吴培铭, Wei Feng and Peishan open up about the challenges they faced in their marriage, and their experience undergoing family counselling at the Strengthening Families Programme (FAM) (Fei Yue). To ensure that more couples like Wei Feng and Peishan can receive support readily, MSF is also increasing family counselling capacity.

Reaching out for help isn’t a sign of weakness. Taking the first step can help to make things better for you and your loved ones. If you need support in managing stresses in your family relationships, or wish to seek family counselling services, visit: 👉🏻 go.gov.sg/familyassist

Planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) puts in place the support your family may need if you or a loved one ever loses mental capacity, ensuring the right decisions are made by the right people, at the right time.

From 1 May 2026, LPA fees have been reduced. Get started, and appoint your LPA at go.gov.sg/opg-lpa.
