Project Background
To support individuals or families through their difficult times through provision of food and other essential needs (such as diapers etc). The project started in April 2021 when the needs grew tremendously during the Covid lockdown, and continued on to help until today, especially the elderly affected by the rising cost of living and families that are struggling due to various condition that resulted in poverty, including sickness, disabilities etc.
Project Brief
As at end of year 2024, the project has approximately 15 volunteers who are journeying with 60 individual/families. The volunteers visit them monthly, bringing supplies of food and other essential items and also to check on their health condition or any other needs that they may need assistance – medical, job opportune, welfare or elderly home application, education aid etc.
The project is supported by the donations of food and other essential items by many generous parishioners. The items needed are usually made known through posters and slides projected before mass.
At each month end, led by the packing team – approximately 15 volunteers will come together to organise the items and pack the food and essential items. The packing of items is open to all ministries, groups or individual volunteers to join in from time to time.
