The Boys’ Brigade Sharity Gift Box started in 1988, with a simple objective of teaching our Boys how to care and share for the less fortunate in Singapore. Over the last fourteen years, the BB has been managing the Sharity Gift Box on behalf of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
This project is:
A high profile national community service project that promotes the spirit of caring and sharing among Singaporeans during Christmas season.
A significant annual event, which mobilizes more than 3,500 BB officers and Boys, and hundreds of other volunteers to collect gifts from thousands of Singaporeans for distribution to the needy in Singapore.
A unique project, as donors have to go beyond purely financial giving; they are challenged to make the extra effort to buy gifts for the less privileged in our society.
Objectives of the BB Sharity Gift Box are:
To bring cheer to the less fortunate during the festive season of Christmas through collection of gifts
To inculcate the spirit of community service among BB members;
To promote the spirit of caring and sharing among Singaporeans
For 21 years, The Boys’ Brigade has been seeking to bring cheer to the less fortunate by collecting food items and fulfilling Christmas wishes of the beneficiaries through The Boys’ Brigade Sharity Gift Box. These gift items reach out to more than 180 Voluntary Welfare Organisations and 3,000 individuals under the Public Assistance Scheme. This project is all about YOU! You can make someone’s wish come true this Christmas! This is a unique project as donors are encouraged to go beyond purely financial giving and are instead challenged to make the extra effort to buy gifts for the less privileged in our society.
