A regular volunteer, Edrington visited our clients during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to hand-make snowskin mooncakes together. Check out the highlights here: https://t.co/0c5Ozr4p1e

We are truly heartened to have the continued love and support of Edrington, who specially prepared Mid-Autumn Festival goodie bags - complete with lanterns and mooncakes - for our clients at New Horizon Centre (Tampines)!

[ADA Singapore @alz_sg]

While they could not make a physical visit this year due to COVID-19, Edrington couriered the festival items over.
Volunteers even set aside time for a virtual Zoom call to send their well wishes to clients.
