SINGAPORE – Those with pre-loved textbooks can drop them off at FairPrice Xtra hypermarkets over the next fortnight as part of a FairPrice Group (FPG) initiative to support underprivileged students.
From Nov 14 to 28, pre-loved Ministry of Education-approved textbooks can be donated at all eight FairPrice Xtra stores islandwide, as well as the Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre in Yishun.
Now in its 44th edition, the Share-A-Textbook donation drive aims to provide disadvantaged students with educational essentials for the new school year, said FPG in a statement on Nov 12.
The 2026 drive is co-organised with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).
From Nov 28 to Dec 3, more than 1,000 volunteers from FPG, NTUC, partner schools and organisations and the public will gather to sort the textbooks.
They include students, parents and long-time volunteers who have contributed to the initiative for over a decade, FPG said.
