Kuching Autistic Association hosts fundraising food fair on July 13
THE Kuching Autistic Association will hold its annual food fair on July 13 to raise funds for its autism programmes and operational costs.
The association said it was currently facing an annual deficit of RM750,000.
"Proceeds from this food fair will go directly towards sustaining therapy services, education programmes and daily operations for children with autism," said the association in a statement.
It said visitors can look forward to local delicacies, handcrafted items, and vibrant community spirit at the fair, which will take place at the Association of Churches hall on Jalan Stampin here.
A highlight of the event would be colourful stage programmes featuring performances by the association's students, local talents and special guests.
The association welcomed members of the public to get involved in the fair by volunteering on the day, helping to sell tickets or setting up a food or merchandise stall.
"Every bit of support helps bring us closer to our goal. Let us unite as a community to bring hope, inclusion, and a brighter future for children with autism in Kuching," it said.
