Project R.I.C.E.+ 2026: Over 1000 care packs distributed

TRANS FSC (Bedok) and TRANS FSC (Bedok Reservoir) collaborated with the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) again this year in support of Project R.I.C.E.+, continuing a partnership that provides vulnerable residents in the Bedok community a little more security in their day-to-day lives. The project is SRC’s annual nationwide initiative to assist low-income families, vulnerable elderly members, and individuals facing financial difficulties.  

Through the collective efforts of both Family Service Centres, families in need received essential food and personal care items. In June 2026, TRANS FSC (Bedok) distributed 850 bundles to 109 families. The following month, TRANS FSC (Bedok Reservoir) prepared 492 bundles, benefiting 64 families and counting. Most of the bundles were distributed during collection drives held on 27 June and 11 July 2026. 

Volunteers, staff, and community partners worked together to ensure support reached those who needed it most, reflecting the strength of collaboration between various stakeholders. We would like to thank the Singapore Red Cross for their continued partnership in making this possible.

It was a Sunday wafting with the aroma of coffee for youth clients from Bedok and Bedok Reservoir FSCs! With the support of the EtonHouse Community Fund, they were engaged in a workshop at the EtonHouse Garden By the Bay where they learnt the history of coffee, basic coffee-brewing operations, as well as the sustainability of the coffee industry. This opportunity also led them to discover their interest in this area and sparked the possibility of barista work as a career pathway. Following the workshop, the 32 youths and their families were treated to a visit to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. It was a day well-spent as they were given the chance to appreciate nature and bond with their families.
On a Saturday afternoon, TRANS Family Services marked Mother’s Day with a special programme for our migrant mothers and their children. The celebration provided a welcoming space for participants to share experiences and affirm one another, and build new friendships over a meal. Beyond celebrating Mother’s Day, the gathering also offered an opportunity for participants to share their hopes, interests and ideas for future activities, helping to shape a community that is supportive, empowering and participant-led. While mothers actively participated in the discussion, their children were engaged in making keychains from air-dry clay facilitated by volunteers. We are grateful to all the mothers, children, volunteers and staff who contributed to making the day a joyful and memorable one. Through initiatives such as the Migrant Brides Project, TRANS Family Services remains committed to fostering meaningful connections, strengthening support networks, and creating opportunities for women and families to thrive together.
