HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
The Alumni Club is dedicated to serving the community and has organised various volunteer activities for its members so that they could better contribute to society. It teamed up with “Food for Good” to arrange “Food for Good Education Truck” visiting Jat Min Chuen to promote food waste reduction. The Alumni Club also teamed up with Housing Society volunteers to conduct risk assessment at the homes of the elderly to make simple home modifications and improve their living environment.
The Alumni Club had visited seniors living in the Housing Society’s estates, such as Cho Yiu Chuen, Kwun Tong Garden Estate and Chun Seen Mei Chuen, in order to befriend them, improve their living environment by giving professional advice following risk assessment of their home, and distribute festive gift bags and health packs.
It also launched a “Used Book Recycling Campaign” with ten charitable organisations to collect and distribute donated books for underprivileged children. As part of the campaign, the Alumni Club volunteers joined hands with Housing Society staff to host online story-telling sessions for children, helping some 90 kids from low-income families to explore the joy of reading while staying home from school.
Over the year, 18 community service programmes were organised to serve the children of under-resourced families and the elderly tenants of Housing Society’s estates and the neighbourhood. A total of 1,381 service hours were committed, benefitting over 4,700 people.
