The objective of the Financial Assistance & Food on the Table Program is to provide support to Singaporean families in need for financial or other type of assistance.
We assess the needs of a family and provide them with the necessary financial, food ration, informational, and socio-emotional support required.
This will include:
- Processing and approving all cases of financial assistance to deserving individuals and families.
- Directing the SIWEC staff to further investigate requests for financial assistance.
- Study of family needs for follow up action by other committees under the Sikh Welfare Council.
- Liaising with Family Service Centre / Social Service Office (SSO), Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), Ministry of Education, or other Government organizations for client’s family needs.
- Publicising in the community various available government programmes for family support and financial assistance.
- Publicising in the community various available national programmes pertaining to the development and cohesion of the family as the basic social unit.
- Promoting good family values to the clients.
