Assumption Church’s SSVP Banana Leaf Charity Lunch rekindled the best in parishioners to uplift the lives of the last, the least and the little.

With the objective of raising funds to continue programmes for the underprivileged, the Society of St

Vincent de Paul’s Conference of Assumption Church organised a Banana Leaf Charity Lunch on Sept 30 in conjunction with the Feast of St Vincent de Paul, which fell on September 27.

After weeks of planning, a whopping RM11,286 was raised from coupon and online sales, donations in cash and kind, and food sales after costs were defrayed.

The Banana Leaf Charity Lunch complements other outreach projects undertaken by SSVP Assumption Conference. Besides coffee mornings, we have also organised a blood donation drive in cooperation with the National Blood Bank, while plans are underway to host another Comedy Fundraising Nite on 17 November 2018. Funds raised during fund raising events go towards helping the poor in the parish area and towards the running of a preschool educentre for underprivileged children, located in Taman Seri Sentosa, operated by SSVP Assumption.
