We made a pledge to offer packed meals for the elderly during our Indiegogo crowd funding campaign. With Lunar New Year round the corner, it's about time we work on that promise.
We were linked up with St. Andrew's Cathedral Home for the Aged about 2 weeks ago. Our initial intention was to provide packed meals but the Home needed help with their weekly groceries so we thought might as well go with what they wanted since we had already set aside the budget for this.
Hubby was given a list of (ahem) 25 items to purchase.
1) Chinese sausage x 4pkts
2) Yam x 4nos
3) Pumpkin x 4nos
4) Turnip x 4nos
5) Bitter gourd x 6nos
6) Eggplants x 8nos
7) Long beans x 2kg
8) Green leafy vegetables x 2kg
9) Tofu x 10pks
10) Cabbage x 4nos
11) Sambal belachan x 3bots
12) Pineapple x 6nos
13) Ginger x 3kg
14) Tomato x 1kg
15) Chilli padi x 200g
16) Dragonfruit x 15nos
17) Chicken sausage x 8pkts
18) Herbal packet for soup x 10pkts
19) Dried longans x 4pkts
20) Potatoes x 5kg
21) White fungus x 3pkts
22) Broccoli x 2kg
23) Arrowhead x 2kg
24) Small limes x 2kg
25) Garlic x 3kg
Hubby roped in buddy to help with the logistics. So off they went with the entrusted list this morning (honestly I was a little worried whether these 2 men could do proper marketing lolx). I shared this list for only one purpose - to commend Hubby and Jason for their efforts 'cos the picture below didn't do justice in showing the sheer amount of food these 2 men carried. Hubby said both of them made 3 trips (walking and carrying these food) from wet market to car and 2 trips from car to the Home just because they had to park far away.
Anyway the food was delivered along with a red packet so they could purchase the Four Season Lime plants which they wanted but we couldn't manage logistically. Overall I must say it's a wonderful job done!
