We are seeing the trust and dedication from our partners again to make this happen in a short period of time: 5000 care packs have been delivered to families required to quarantine or confine at home, providing them with the essential self-testing, sanitizing and health supplies during the 5th wave COVID-19 outbreak.
Seeing the needs of the community, our long-term partner St. James’ Settlement (SJS) has taken swift actions to secure the items from the suppliers to provide immediate relief. The volunteers comprising our Foundation’s Scholars and members of the Hong Kong Institute of Planners, together with part-time helpers arranged by SJS, have all contributed in preparing the packs for the dissemination.
Through the concerted efforts of our NGO partners serving different groups in different districts, the packs have reached households with youth with special education needs, frail singleton and doubleton older adults, home-based carers, frontline workers at care homes and many more who have limited social support and difficulties to get access to the items. We hope they could receive timely assistance during this challenging time.
Our heartfelt thanks to all parties involved along the way. With their partnerships, our journey to build a stronger compassionate network and the multi-party synergies continues.
