3) Supermarket/ Taxi vouchers to support the needy seniors 
Your regular gift of monthly donation of supermarket vouchers could help bring joy and warmth to the less fortunate seniors.  For example, you may click here to find out more about how to purchase NTUC Fairprice vouchers (we accept vouchers from any other supermarket as well).

This is  to provide our seniors with the option of purchasing their daily essential needs, as such CWA will not be giving out provisions but instead handout supermarket voucher to our clients. 

For any other kind of donations such as electronics products, please contact us at 6466 7957 or email us at contact@cwa.org.sg.
