IN the face of economic distress encountered by many families during the full movement control order, a non-governmental organisation One Hope Charity & Welfare is providing hope to a lot of people in need of help.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow praised the organisation when he received the donation in a symbolic ceremony at the public space near the Komtar Maybank.

Chairman Chua Sui Hau and advisor Dato Seri R.Arunasalam presenting the food boxes to Chow in a symbolic ceremony.

“Today we witnessed another charitable deed by One Hope Charity for their contribution of 5,000 food boxes. They will be distributed to selected families who are affected by the loss of income during this FMCO,” Chow said at the simple ceremony.

“As an NGO, One Hope Charity has proven to be always on the forefront when it comes to welfare programs.

“This is its second huge distribution of food packages, the first was the distribution of 4,200 food packages to all the 40 constituencies of the state last year.

“I am also informed that since the MCO began in March last year, One Hope Charity has thus far spent RM8 million in providing provisions to the needy.

“This is indeed a very caring gesture for the vulnerable group as many families lose their source of income during this pandemic and need assistance.

“And I believe the help provided by One Hope Charity will ease the burden of these families.”

Chow added that the distribution of the food boxes would be delivered via courier services to avoid a large gathering of people to receive the aid.

One Hope Charity & Welfare today delivered 5,000 boxes of food items under its pandemic relief programmed called “Food Box with Love Campaign” through courier service to the recipients throughout the state.Each box of food items is worth over RM200.
