With the inauguration of the Marine Parade and Tanjong Pagar CDCS, we have set up 42 service centres for the residents. We also have a toll-free service hotline. There will be more centres in various parts of Singapore when the other CDCs are set up. These centres and the service hotline provide a one-stop service for any resident needing help but does not know where to turn to. The CDC will provide referral services, information, applications for assistance and other services and a friendly listening ear.

People like her could have had their lives turned around because someone cared. You can be that caring person.
