The Volunteers Corps aims to serve the elderly residents living in public rental housing by organising activities such as home visits, afternoon gatherings and Chinese festive food preparation for them in traditional festivals. Moreover, the Volunteers Corps demonstrates the spirit of social contribution by participating in a vast array of community activities.
On 29 April 2023, it mobilised more than 100 volunteers to participate in the Hong Kong Tree Planting Day after a 3-year break due to the epidemic. The event, which was held at Tai Tong, Yuen Long, was supported by various organisations, with more than 2,000 volunteers planting over 8,000 tree seedlings to promote the green messages of nature and tree preservation, and environmental protection. The volunteers of HD planted tree seedlings together after walking uphill in hot weather so as to cultivate a greener countryside.
One of the volunteers, Assistant Housing Manager, Mr Cheuk Shing-wai said, “Volunteer work gives me the opportunity to devote love and care to the community. The tree seedlings that we planted represent our heartfelt wishes to make Hong Kong a greener and better home.”
