Tropicana Foundation, the charity arm of Tropicana Group has teamed up with Tropicana Corp Bhd, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and VitaHealth Malaysia, to bring joy and happiness to the underprivileged community during Chinese New Year.
Together they hosted a Chinese New Year Meet & Greet, bringing with them donations of food packs, daily necessities and red packets as blessings to 106 old folks and children from Amazing Grace Retirement Home and Juara Children’s Home in Petaling Jaya.
Tropicana Group corporate communications senior general manager and Tropicana Foundation senior committee member Serena Lim expressed her appreciation towards the charitable endeavour.
“Established in 2011, Tropicana Foundation was founded with a single vision to support and reach out to the underprivileged community focusing on social, wellness, education and environmental issues.
“During this festive period, the children, old folks and their caretakers face higher expenses and seek familial companionship. Our Meet & Greet programme aims to reduce that burden, provide our assistance and bring festive cheer to them,” she said.
Lim added, “We are grateful to our sponsors and volunteers from Tropicana Corp Bhd, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and VitaHealth Malaysia. Together, we raised more than RM27,000 worth of in-kind items such as dry goods, clothes, books, towels, food packs and event support.”
Lim also stated that the charity event was also in line with Tropicana Foundation’s focus on redefining the art of sharing and caring as well as showcasing the group’s ongoing commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG),” she added.
Nurturing the spirit of camaraderie, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort executive chef Azizi Abdul Aziz, his kitchen crew and Tropicana volunteers assisted in preparing and assembling nutritious meals and delivering the food packs.
Representatives of VitaHealth Malaysia joined the Tropicana team at each home to hand out their health supplements.
The residents of each home were also presented with CNY red packets as a token of good health, happiness and prosperity. The God of Prosperity mascot made a special appearance, joining in the festivities by giving away candies and chocolates while spreading cheer and joy to the children and elderly residents.
