i have no experience organising specific activities, but in my previous club, we took part in the boy's brigade charity drive, in which we would collect goodie bags from their HQ, and distribute according to a list they give to us, to specific addresses.
what we would do is firm a date, then a list of interested people, and gather at that date/time, convoy to the "pickup point" , pickup the stuff and disseminate to the needy folks. the goodie bags are not light.. 2 bags around 15-18kg. there's rice, milo, canned food, instant noodles, etc If i recall, each car could load 20-30 bags. the location would generally be around the same area. they won't make you run around like a monkey. the problem is when some folks are not at home, then you have to go down the list, which may be in a different location, but still not very far off.
I have previously run social work programs and currently run a program that delivers fresh fruits to old age homes, hospices and orphanages in Singapore. It is a 1 month pilot project starting in July that is supporting the daily fresh fruit needs for 1,500 elderly and their care staff in Singapore.
We were thinking of creating an opportunity for a car club to perform one of these fresh fruit delivery runs, perhaps culminating in a nice get-together at Wearnes, if they can support us.
Great guys! Thanks got the inputs! Couples of us is readily to participate in any (I believe).... We just wanna do something and give contributions back to the society .....

Thanks mate ! Great ! We should start a committee for this !
My other bros do this on an annual basis. The next one is on 21st July. We will all buy the items on a list given to us then meet on the actual day itself to pack them into individual bags. After which, we deliver the bags to the households. Will share more on Friday.
