ItsRainingRaincoats Christmas Campaign  

ItsRainingRaincoats Christmas edition is back for its third year. Every year, Singaporeans have helped us get closer to our goal of reaching out to each of the 750,000 migrant workers no the island with a small token of appreciation during he festive season. This year, given the challenges the migrant worker community has faced, there is an even bigger impetus to make it special for them !

1. Drop off gift wrapped presents   

You can drop off gift wrapped presents at any of ItsRainingRaincoats designated drop-off points. These will then be collated and sent to migrant workers at their worksites and dormitories. 

2. Christmas Treats &  Care Packs  

You may also consider sponsoring meals, sweets or chocolates, or care packs for our migrant worker brothers as a festive treat. Or pre-arrange some treats to be sent over by IRR to sites and dorms we identify over the course of the festive months.  
 
Get together with your family, friends, and colleagues and let IRR  know how many workers you may wish to treat. IRR  have workers identified in groups sizes of 10 persons to 500 persons. Once you let them know how many workers, IRR will identify a group and connect you with them. 
 
The Christmas Treats and Care Packs drive will run from Nov 24 to Dec 30, 2020.
