Want to help our community during COVID-19?

It’s easy to feel scared and on edge about the current situation with COVID-19, but while some people are fighting over the last toilet roll in the supermarket, and others are stock piling on bread, we ask you to do something kind and think of others who are in desperate need of your help during the Coronavirus outbreak.

From the vulnerable and elderly, to local food banks and homeless shelters, donate to one of these worthy charities below, and do your bit to help your community.

As a company, we were grappling with how to stay indoors while helping out in meaningful ways.

So, we perused through out Internet for charities that are in dire need of help and found few organisations that you could consider contributing to.

In hopes of reaching out to at least 500 families in need, this effort aims to raise about RM100,000 to cover the expenses of such households for the period of the MCO.
