Our Activities

Weekly Runs

Volunteers go for runs where we walk around a neighbourhood and chat with peddlers in the area. Our regular interactions are aimed at listening to how they've been the past week and better understanding their needs.

Care Packages

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Singapore, volunteers prepared more than a hundred care packages containing items such as hand sanitiser, face masks, and rain ponchos through funding from Temasek Trust. 

​

Since then, we have given care packages during festive seasons and special occasions, personalised to the individual needs of peddlers.

Information Gathering

By recording down the basic details of peddlers such as their location and whether they use mobility devices, we are able to better render assistance to them and link them to relevant organisations.

 

One such example was our island-wide peddler survey during Operation Home Run.
