Last Friday, October 3, 2025, the First Wave team came together for a meaningful afternoon as part of our First Wave Community Care initiative. We were thrilled to head to The Food Bank Singapore for a hands-on warehouse volunteer session dedicated to giving back to our community.
The Singapore Surfers spent three fulfilling hours meticulously sorting donations, ensuring every packet reached a family in need.
From 2pm to 5pm, our volunteers rolled up their sleeves to assist with the crucial work of sorting and packing food items. This essential task ensures that donations are properly checked, categorized, and ready for distribution to individuals and families facing food insecurity. It was an inspiring, fulfilling session that highlighted the impact every single helping hand can make.
A Successful Day of Giving
Teamwork and purpose! We bonded over a shared mission, inspired by The Food Bank Singapore’s dedication.
The energy in the warehouse was fantastic, as teammates connected and collaborated over a shared goal of supporting a vital cause. It was a great opportunity for us to step away from our daily routines, bond as a team, and see firsthand the dedication of an organization like The Food Bank Singapore.
Beyond the session itself, we’re proud to announce that First Wave contributed a monetary donation of $10,000 to support The Food Bank Singapore’s operations.
Every contribution truly counts!
Additionally, thanks to the overwhelming support for our food donation drive, we collected a significant amount of items, including:
-
12 bags of 2kg rice
-
12 bottles of cooking oil
-
10 large Milo cans
-
A generous collection of biscuit tins, milk, and oatmeals
Every contribution truly counts and will go toward helping provide meals for those in need.
The Power of Community Care
The success of this event reinforces the core spirit of First Wave Community Care: coming together with open hearts to support a meaningful cause. A special thank you goes out to Jennifer and Siqi for organizing and coordinating the session.
We are so proud of our team for their dedication and generosity, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to making a positive impact in our community! Stay tuned for details on our next Community Care event.
