KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 (Bernama) – The public is invited to contribute towards the Salvation Army, which aims to raise RM 500,000 to fund its social service programmes throughout Malaysia.
Contributions can be done by purchasing a table or seats for the ‘Amazing Grace’ charity dinner at Le Quadri Hotel here on Aug 18, or by donating online.
In a statement today, it said the funding will benefit 3,000 people from diverse backgrounds across Malaysia at six residential homes for children, a home for the elderly, a special needs centre, and nine community service centres.
The Salvation Army Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar Territory territorial commander, Colonel Rodney Walters, said the number of underprivileged Malaysians have increased due to the rising cost of living.
“Many have lost their jobs while others simply do not have enough to put food on the table. I am thankful that The Salvation Army has been meeting needs in Malaysia for 80 years and we will continue to improve our social service programmes to bridge the gaps in our community,” he said.
The event line-up will include performances by the children under the care of The Salvation Army, testimonies by past beneficiaries, and a performance by Talam Transform Bhd.
For more information, visit www.salvationarmy.org/malaysia/events or get in touch with The Salvation Army at 03 8061 4929. Financial contributions are eligible for tax-exempt receipts.
Founded in Malaysia in 1938, The Salvation Army in Malaysia is a non-profit organisation that provides care for the vulnerable and needy, providing residential care for children and the elderly, educational programmes through kindergartens and day care centres, special programmes for young people with special needs, and various social programmes through community service centres.
