Members of the Young Executives Club spent a day in Sham Shui Po distributing food and necessities to street sleepers and those experiencing homelessness. The Kindness Walk, held on 2 June, was organized by ImpactHK, an NGO committed to building community connections and increase awareness about the underprivileged.
After ImpactHK founder Jeff Rotmeyer introduced the work and vision of the organization, members packed and distributed supplies such as eggs, biscuits, tissue and fruit to the homeless in Tung Chau Street Park.
While Hong Kong is one of the most prosperous cities in the world, homelessness remains a pressing social problem. According to recent data shared by the Social Welfare Department, there were over 1,500 street sleepers in 2020-2021.
