Event: Launch of Punggol East CCC CDWF-North East CDC Community Vouchers

Date: December 2013

Venue: Rivervale Plaza

Invited guests

1. Mr Teo Chee Hean

Deputy Prime Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs, and Adviser to Pasir Ris-Punggol GROs

2. Mr Teo Ser Luck, Mayor of North East District and Adviser to Punggol East GROs;

DPM Teo was invited to grace the event and launch the Community Vouchers programme at Rivervale Plaza. It is a programme by which the North East Community Development Council (CDC) works with the grassroots and neighbourhood merchants to distribute vouchers to low-income residents. The residents can then use these vouchers to exchange for goods and services. Thanks to the efforts of the Punggol East Community Development & Welfare Fund Committee, there are 17 shops on board this programme.

Participating merchants were presented with a decal by our invited guests and also to thank them for their support and contribution in the programme. After the presentation, DPM Teo went around giving out vouchers to eligible residents and also toured the participating merchants at Rivervale Plaza.

It is such a great joy to share and reach out to assist those whom need our help.

Here's wishing all the residents Happy New Year and all the best in 2014!
