Tropicana Foundation, a charity arm of property developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad, is doing its part to help flood victims recover from the recent flood disaster in Pahang, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Through its Buggy of Joy donation drive, Tropicana Foundation donated to eight various associations – four children’s homes and four NGOs that supports flood victims.
Tropicana group executive director Jared Ethan Ang said the company was doing its part to bring in some good cheers to the children and the flood victims.
“Our Tropicana Foundation aims to contribute to alleviating the burden of those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, and provide relief to the flood victims,” he said.
The assortments of aid such as blankets, pillows, towels, dry food packs and bottled mineral water were handed over to four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for distribution to flood victims.
The four NGOs are Yayasan Setia Negara, Pusat Khidmat Rakyat Penyelaras Ampang, Bentong Relief Squad and #MariBantu flood volunteers.
The four children’s homes that received assorted dry food packs, toys and books are Lighthouse Children Welfare Home Association, Pusat Jagaan Persatuan Kanak-Kanak Trinity, Rumah Charis and Yayasan Sunbeams Home.
The Buggy of Joy donation drive launched in November 2021 was meant for old folks’ and children’s homes. However, given the current situation, Tropicana Foundation moved quickly and diverted its attention to the flood victims.
The general public can still contribute to the Buggy of Joy by dropping off dry goods at the centre court, cc floor of Tropicana Gardens Mall up to January 3, 2022.
Tropicana Foundation also accepts cash donations via its CIMB Bank Berhad account number 8003575210. Visit bit.ly/BuggyOfJoy for cash donation receipt.
