An ExtraSpaceCares initiative
What a year 2020 has been proving to be. The recent global pandemic, COVID-19, has completely changed the landscape of life, as we have known it to be. Social norms such as shaking of hands and embracing one another is now frowned upon. Lockdowns have been implemented in many countries, causing economies to come to a grinding halt. The Singapore government has also stated that the impacts of COVID-19 might last for a year or more, affecting individuals and businesses. In unprecedented times such as these, it is even more crucial for us to practice kindness and be compassionate towards one another.

In April 2020, Extra Space Asia collaborated with Latteria Mozzarella Bar, a local Italian restaurant that offers traditional Italian cuisine, and Food from The Heart, an independent non-profit organisation, to provide 200 heart-warming lunch boxes daily to Sunlove Abode for Intellectually Infirmed for a period of 2 months. To date, we have contributed over 10,750 meals and 2,900 homemade cookies for our friends from Sunlove Abode. Sunlove Abode is a charity home for the intellectually-disabled – an organisation that is committed to providing care for the less fortunate regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or social status. Through this two-month long initiative, Extra Space Asia hopes to lend a helping hand to support local businesses and at the same time, to do what little we can for our friends at Sunlove Abode. #SGUnited, together we can overcome!
An ExtraSpaceCares initiative
The year-end festive period is a time of giving and sharing with those around us. In 2018, Extra Space Asia Self-Storage embarked on an effort to support a cause we believe in, to make a difference – to help others who are in need.
The “Reason to Smile” initiative was an effort aimed at giving back to society. In collaboration with The Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), Extra Space Asia celebrated the festive season with our friends from MINDS.
In addition, through this meaningful collaboration, Extra Space Asia donated a total of $20,000 to MINDS where $50 was from every customer who signed up with us from 3 December 2018 to 31 December 2018. This fund will support MINDS towards their purposeful cause.
MINDS is one of the oldest and largest non-governmental welfare organizations catering to the needs of persons with intellectual disability (PWIDs) in Singapore. They provide a comprehensive range of services to best cater to the education, social, vocational and psychological needs for their clients with intellectual disabilities.
Here’s our first Extraspacecares initiative with our friends at MINDS-Eunos Training and Development Centre. Simple gestures can bring big smiles. Let’s all spend some time giving back and giving everyone more reasons to smile.
