About Campaign
ends 30 Mar 2023, 11:59 PMThe fees that SAS collects from our needy residents covers only 16% of our costs. Government subvention helps to fund about 60% of our expenses. Another S$2 million needs to be raised annually from the public to sustain the SAS's cause.
Out of the S$2 million that needs to be raised annually, 50% will go to providing healthy and nutritious meals for our residents. SAS serves an average of 468,000 meals per year and close to 70% of our residents required dysphagia diet. When a resident is diagnosed with dysphagia, it is recommended that they consume specially tailored dysphagia food, known as a 'texture-modified diet'. This is because people with dysphagia usually find it safer and easier to swallow food and drink with an adapted consistency and smooth texture. Sometimes the use of a special thickening agent will be required in the preparation of the dish to get the right consistency. Therefore, SAS must cater for four different types of diets.
Your donations will help to cover the food costs at our Nursing Home.
