Project Refresh 26th Edition

10 September 2025

The 26th edition of Project Refresh saw 400 volunteers refurbishing homes and distributing daily necessities to seniors, engaging with them and creating a memorable day for them.

Last weekend, 400 volunteers from Project Refresh and Wellness on Wheels (WOW) came together for a weekend of action and meaningful cause.

They refurbished 60 homes for seniors and low-income families, tackling tasks like painting, cleaning, and decluttering to give these spaces a fresh, new look.

WOW trucks and booths were set up in neighbourhoods where volunteers distributed daily necessities and essential health supplies to seniors. With support from partners like Hao Ren Hao Shi and Geoscan Pte Ltd, the booths made it easier for those in need to access vital assistance.

At Jamiyah Home for the Aged, 150 mattresses and bedding sets were replaced, with the support from Four Star Mattress and Thakral Corporation. Fumigation by A4 Facility Services further improved hygiene and comfort for the residents.

Volunteers also engaged with the elderly, making the day even more special with simple activities and heartfelt moments.

This initiative is a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the impact we can make when we come together to support those who need it most. Through kindness and collective action, we continue to build a stronger, more inclusive future for everyone.
