Volunteers talking to a street sleeper

[This is a Community Service under Community GO]

In this service, volunteers will join The Salvation Army Integrated Service for Street Sleepers to show our love and care to the homeless by spending time with them.

根據最新統計,香港有超過1,500名露宿者,約100名露宿於油尖旺區內。救世軍露宿者綜合服務隊一直於該區主動接觸露宿者,了解其露宿的原因,並按他們的需要提供福利服務。現招募義工探訪油尖旺一帶的露宿者,通過親身對話認識他們的困難,送上關心和支持。
