      Doing well, doing good

      Every little bit helps. Those of us with the privilege to give can empower vulnerable members of our community with more access to care, support and opportunity.

      Let’s make a difference together.

      Community Chest

      A non-profit established in 1983, the Community Chest is an organisation that channels resources to causes that include children with special needs and youth-at-risk, adults with disabilities, families, vulnerable seniors and persons with mental health conditions.

      At DBS, we also believe in uniting the community and rallying support for the vulnerable. That’s why we are proud to partner the Community Chest to empower the lives of the disadvantaged.

       

      About ONEfor10

      Your wealth could have a lasting impact on the lives of others.

      ONEfor10 is an initiative by Community Chest, designed to create a connection between those who have the resources and abilities to give, and those that are vulnerable to various disadvantages in our community.
