5. Let's Gift For A Reason 2022

SAFRA's Let's Gift For A Reason is back for the holiday season. In celebration of SAFRA’s 50th Anniversary, the campaign aims to fulfil the wishes of 500 less privileged children and fund necessities for 5,000 low-income households and elderlies through this year’s Let’s Gift For A Reason.

You're invited to spread joy to those in need during this season of giving by Adopting a Wish or Adopting a Bag (or both!).

Adopt a Wish lets you grant a wish worth up to $30 of a less-privileged child. Simply head to any SAFRA club from Nov 5 to Dec 12, 2022 and pick a wish from the dedicated wish board. Purchase the gift, wrap it and pen down your well-wishes for the campaign's beneficiaries, then return the gift along with the wish card to the same SAFRA club by Dec 12, 2022.

Adopt a Bag invites you to support low-income families or elderlies living in rental flats. With every bag adopted, a bag of daily necessities worth about $20 will be donated to the campaign's beneficiaries to help them put food on the table and offset their living expenses.

Simply visit the campaign's microsite from Nov 5 to Dec 12, 2022 and select how many bags you want to adopt (each bag costs $20), then check out and make your payment.
