We created a special Christmas for the homeless community by making them a meal and gifting them non-perishable food items. To share the joy of Christmas and uplift the spirits of others, we organised a special Christmas Day Lunch for the homeless community in Lansdowne.
Volunteers assisted by making 120 meals of soya macaroni bolognaise. We were able to give each person a meal, cool drink, cake, biscuits, sweets and a grocery pack of non-perishable foods. The community were very grateful for the meal and food parcels they received. They were hugely appreciative of all the volunteers who made them feel so special on Christmas Day. The community expressed how grateful they were for all our efforts and for taking the time to make the day a memorable one for them.
Volunteers also expressed how meaningful and heart-warming it felt to cook for the homeless and spend Christmas giving back to those less fortunate. We are deeply grateful for everyone’s generosity, kindness and enthusiasm that made this event possible.. Hats off to project leader Viveka Vassen & team of volunteers.
