7-Eleven has launched its Lend a Helping Hand 2021 campaign to support medical frontliners battling the rise of Covid-19 cases as well as individuals in B40 communities who have been badly impacted as a result of the lockdown. Through this campaign, anyone can purchase general essentials like cleaning products, instant noodles, and medication at 7-Eleven stores nationwide and leave them at designated collection boxes.

These will then be distributed to beneficiaries closest to the respective stores, including government hospitals and medical clinics, other civil service frontliners, charity homes for the elderly and children, public universities, and students’ dormitories.
