About The Campaign
Hi all, we are from Strongsilvers, an online community to help seniors with technological woes. With Singapore going into Heightened Measures, we are looking to raise S$10,000 to bring food delivery for over 2000 seniors supported by charities such as St Joseph’s Home and Irene Nursing Home, who may not know how to use food delivery apps & are facing financial difficulties.
We will be ordering from Hawkers listed in the Hawkers United 2020 Group, so that the seniors get the familiar taste and support the local hawker scene at the same time.

- Moonlight Home for the Aged and Handicapped (No. 134 Lorong J Telok Kurau, Singapore 425962) – 15 beds
