The Walk for Rice is a community initiative by NTUC FairPrice and South East Community Development Council. The activity is geared towards encouraging individuals to stay active by walking or running and clocking their distance for a good cause. For every 300 metres of walking or running recorded, FairPrice Foundation will donate 1 bowl of white rice, 1 bowl of brown rice and 1 bowl of oatmeal to a vulnerable family residing in the South East District.
Every year, SETSCO participates in the Walk for Rice initiative, with staff volunteering their time after work to walk from our office to a designated destination in support of this meaningful cause. This year, we had 37 participants – an increase from previous years – which reflects SETSCO’s unwavering commitment to giving back to the community. Despite rainy weather, our staff completed the 2.9km trek from SETSCO’s Bukit Batok office to Bukit Gombak MRT Station, demonstrating their support in making a positive difference. As it delights us to see an increase in participation from our staff this year, we look forward to welcoming more to join us in this initiative in the coming years!
