This service was launched in 2021 in a non-subvented format, with a continuous focus on the needs of disadvantaged groups. It primarily serves grassroots families residing in the Hong Kong Island area, caring for the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of family members. It offers special support to the needs of grassroots children, youth and women, while also connecting with community stakeholders to establish mutual support networks, share community facilities and social resources. In addition, it leverages the expertise of grassroots women to build confidence, enabling beneficiaries to transition into helpers, thereby creating a platform for grassroots families to give back to society.
