Volunteers, agencies help elderly resident clear years of belongings from home: ‘Never leave a neighbour behind’, Singapore News


After learning about an elderly resident whose home had “accumulated years of belongings”, a village of volunteers stepped forward to help declutter and deep clean the home. 

In a Facebook post on Tuesday (June 16), the East Coast Town Council shared about a village of volunteers who gathered to help an elderly resident whose home had belongings collected over many years. 

A number of volunteers from volunteer organisation AMKSS Social Move, the Housing Development Board and the Ministry of National Development New Environment Action Team participated in the clean-up that day. 

The town council didn’t mention where this resident lives. 

The post shared that the unit underwent a full declutter and deep clean, including pressure washing the flat and shared corridor.
