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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A number of <\/strong>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.\u00a0<\/p>\n The town council didn’t mention where this resident lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n The post shared that the unit underwent a full declutter and deep clean, including pressure washing the flat and shared corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n “It was a tough process, and one that required patience and care, but watching the space gradually open up made every moment worthwhile.”\u00a0<\/p>\n The town council also expressed gratitude to all the helping hands, writing: “Thank you for your dedication and for never leaving a neighbour behind. This is what kampung spirit looks like!”<\/p>\n In a Facebook post on Wednesday, AMKSS Social Move thanked the East Coast Town Council for their support in this project.\u00a0<\/p>\n It added that following the decluttering and cleaning efforts, two new beds had been purchased for the elderly resident and the existing lights will also be replaced.<\/p>\n
