In addition, in the past seven years, this ministry has successfully collected a total of 43,000 gifts. Last year alone, 16,000 gifts were successfully collected and distributed.
Captain Sim also reiterated that the BB Love Box is a platform that collects and distributes the gifts to the needy during the Christmas season. The public can participate in this ministry by donating the gifts to help the children and families achieve their Christmas wishes.
