Tropicana Foundation, a charity arm of Tropicana Corporation Berhad provided relief to 90 orphans and abandoned children from five orphanage homes in Klang Valley.
The five orphanage homes benefited from this aid are Persatuan Kebajikan Kasih Malaysia (Rumah Kasih), Pusat Jagaan Rumah Kesayangan (Rukesa), Pusat Jagaan Kasih Harapan, Rumah Sentuhan Budi and Pusat Jagaan Telaga Kasih Nur Muhammad.
The relief items included over 1,100 kg worth of daily essential goods, 380 kg worth of fresh produce and 90 sets of school bags with school supplies.
Together with its agriculture arm, Purple Pumpkie & Greenhouse, the Tropicana team organised and handed over the supplies which will provide nourishment and support to the participating homes for a month.
Tropicana group managing director Dion Tan conveyed his support to the ongoing charity initiatives of Tropicana Foundation and underlined the importance of providing relief to the underprivileged society.
“The pandemic is a sobering experience, with many facing challenges. We need to come together and extend our support to the community.
“In conjunction with Malaysia Day, we want to put a smile on the faces of our fellow Malaysians. With our small donations, we want to provide nutritious meals to the children in our aim to keep them healthy and safe.
“We also treated the 90 children with our Tropicana Foundation care pack containing a personal cutlery set, face masks, sanitiser, new towel and new clothes,” he said.
The essentials, fresh produce and bags were packed at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort which served as the collection centre where strict SOP was observed at all times.
