Light Up the Season with Christmas on A Great Street!
Join us as Orchard Road transforms into a dazzling beacon of hope, compassion, and generosity at the Christmas on A Great Street Community Chest Light-Up Ceremony. In partnership with SG Cares Giving Week and the Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA), we proudly kick off this special SG60 edition of our year-end celebrations, uniting communities in a shared spirit of togetherness.
As the festive lights shine, be part of a movement that empowers those in need. Every act of kindness fuels vital social service programs that foster independence, inclusion, and opportunities for communities in need.
In the spirit of giving this season, we invite you to support SGSHARE – our national giving initiative that funds programmes across five meaningful causes to uplift the lives of beneficiaries. 100% of your donation goes directly towards helping those in need. And this year, your generosity goes even further with SG Gives, a government matching grant.
Every dollar counts and no amount is too small – with the power of our collective kindness, we can help dreams take flight.
