Fundraising Target Donate food packs, Support social distancing! Along with the resurging coronavirus wave, dining out is no longer an option. Some may be fortunate to have parents, spouses or domestic helper to cook for them. However, it is not that easy for elderly who live alone, old folks scavenging cardboard boxes for a living, or people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, to have the resources to prepare a home meal.

This year, with Hong Kong facing so many unprecedented challenges, we will be encouraging […]

香港青年協會就今年的暑期活動作出特別安排。七月份專為中、小學及幼稚園學生而設的面授班組活動，如果未能以網上或其他形式舉行，將會取消或延期；稍後將向受影響學生或家長，公布全部或部分退款細節。八月份的面授及班組活動，將視乎疫情最新發展，再作決定。   考慮到部分家長的需要，青協轄下的青年空間，將如早前一樣，維持有限度的暫託服務，而所有進入單位人士，必須跟從防疫指引，提高戒備，包括量度體溫、用消毒酒精搓手液、佩戴口罩並填寫健康申報表。   根據社會福利署的指引，單位現時只提供有限度服務；偶到服務、玩具借用等服務亦會暫停，服務使用者如有特別需要，可先致電進行預約，於指定時間進入單位。進入單位內之人士，必須自備及佩戴口罩、填寫健康申報表及用消毒酒精搓手，並須經由職員替其量體温。如發現發燒，該人士需立即看醫生，並回家休息，不可逗留於單位內。  

Hong Kong has undergone a challenging year, especially with the current pandemic, which has considerably impacted its citizens’ mental health well-being.
