To promote community integration among the elderly, the CARE Volunteer Team partnered with Bauhinia Association this year to guide some 100 seniors to visit the Hong Kong Brands and Product in December.
On 21 Dec 2017, 85 CARE volunteers were divided into two groups to accompany elders to visit the Expo in morning and evening sessions respectively. They assisted the elders to purchase daily necessities by using the subsidy provided by the organiser. At the end of the day, all elders went home joyfully with full bags of products.
This programme aims to encourage the elderly to expand their social networks and keep them connected to the community. CARE volunteers will continue to spread their love and support to the needy in the community.
