Love Our Community: Caring for the Needy
“Love Our Community” is a platform for our volunteers to provide tangible care for the community by meeting their various needs. It helps our volunteers learn the value of looking beyond their own needs to love, give and care for others freely by using their time, resources and talents well to serve the needy.
Our community work started when Harvest Care Centre organized a Chinese New Year celebration for the former Geylang Senior Citizens’ Health Care Centre located at Geylang Polyclinic (now known as B. Well). A group of volunteers participated in this initiative. Subsequently, more volunteers joined in to participate in several community projects with various organizations until Love Our Community’s official launch in 2006. We are now in the midst of making plans to develop Love Our Community to serve the needs of a specific group of residents.
Below are the projects that our volunteers were involved in to provide practical help to the various sectors of our community:
