BB Share-a-Gift

The Boys’ Brigade Share-a-Gift (formerly The Boys’ Brigade Sharity Gift Box) started in 1988, with a simple objective of teaching our Boys how to care and share for the less fortunate in Singapore.

This year, BBSG opening ceremony will be on 24th November 2015 and will end on 21st December 2015. As such, our company schedule are as follows:

Warehouse Duty 17th December
Car Delivery Preparation* 18th December
Car Delivery^ 19th December

*Car delivery preparation will not involve the whole company. Selected boys will be informed.

^Car delivery will be something new for our company. Instead of the usual duty at the warehouse, boys will be doing delivery of the food packages to the beneficiaries. Parents will be invited to join in the delivery to bless the people in the community. More details will be released on this.

Note: Attendance for 17th and 19th is compulsory and as such, those who are overseas during the dates have to inform Mr. Nicholas Lim for a reschedule of company duty. This goes towards your Comm Service award which is a core award.
