Singaporeans living overseas can soon donate to the Boys' Brigade Share-a-Gift project, as supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice is accepting overseas purchases at its online shopping portal to support the project.

The move comes amid growing interest among Singaporeans living overseas, who wish to help the needy in Singapore.

Donors can buy food items or donation hampers from the portal using overseas-issued credit cards. Food items can also be donated at its selected outlets, NTUC FairPrice said.

Cadet Lieutenant of the 5th Singapore Company of The Boys' Brigade Mr Benz Koh is encouraged by the warm response from members of the public.

"Many people who come and donate are very generous. They bother to go the extra mile to buy the food items and donate them to us rather than just donating money,” he said.

Donors can visit an installation at the Braddell Heights Community Hub to find out more about the project.
