29 Community Centre

29 Community Centre is a year-round safe haven for people experiencing homelessness, located at 29 Oak Street, Tai Kok Tsui. Our centre provides essential daily supports such as meals, clothing, phone charging station, haircuts and free internet access etc. 

We also host a variety of events each week, such as health talks, personal growth workshops, birthday celebrations, and karaoke nights. These activities encourage friendship and mutual support between community members facing similar challenges. 

By offering a safe space and engaging activities, we hope to cultivate a sense of trust that encourages authentic, deeper connections at 29 Community Centre. Therefore, the Centre is more than a basic support hub. It is an extended living area and lounge for individuals to find community and resources. 

From April 2024, we have expanded our services to specifically address the health needs of older people experiencing homelessness. Our new initiatives include regular health checks, nutrition education, retirement planning and more. This initiative aims to empower elderly service users to prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing. 

The Kind Kitchen

Through the Community Kitchen Project and other food aid programs, we provide at least 9,000 meals every month to the people experiencing homelessness and low-income people in the neighbourhood. Providing stable and secure food assistance to our service users not only meets their basic survival needs, but also helps us keep in touch with them.

In the future, the community kitchen will focus on nutrition and job skills training. We hope that besides providing food for basic survival needs, we can also promote health management from a nutritional perspective. At the same time, we will also organize food-related job skills training for service users who are interested in joining the catering industry. This will allow them to receive appropriate training in the community kitchen.
