CARE DELIVERED: Deliver Care Packages to isolating elderly in Sham Shui Po

This program is made possible by the UPS Foundation Description: With 1 in 3 elderly in Hong Kong living below the poverty line and more than half enduring feelings of loneliness, the demand for support has reached a critical level. Part of the burden on these individuals and families can be eased through the delivery of food packages and essential supplies brought directly to their doorsteps by caring volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help assemble and deliver these Care Packages to elderly in Sham Shui Po - helping to provide food assistance that recipients know can be counted on for that month. These packages are being allocated to households identified as being in need of long-term food assistance and support. Volunteer roles: Volunteers will receive a short briefing upon arriving at the community centre. Volunteers will collect and pack the grocery items and other necessities from a local elderly centre. In pairs, volunteers will then deliver care packages to households, spending around 20 mins in conversation with each elderly individual. By doing so, you’ll help to provide both social and emotional support – and above all, show them that somebody cares. 活動簡介：超過20％的人口生活在貧困中，每月靠少於4,000港元生存，他們甚至在疫情之前都在努力維持生計。 現在，由於他們許多人生活在恐懼中並且生計受到影響，這些人比以往任何時候都更加迫切需要幫忙。 弱勢群體以及支持他們的慈善機構需要廣大香港公眾的支持。他們生活中食物的負擔，可以通過由義工遞交到他們手上的食品包來減輕。 需要義工來幫助一班居住在深水埗長者，服務內容包括包裝和交付這些食物包。我們希望每月提供食品援助給予長期需要食物援助和支持的家庭。 義工角色： 每位義工抵達中心之時，中心工作人員將會提供指引。 義工將幫忙將遞送物資分裝入袋， 義工兩人一組送達物資至長者家門口。義工需要入屋與長者閒聊了解他們的近況，大約二十分鐘一戶。
