A new corporate social responsibility initiative undertaken by CPIB in 2016 was Meals-on-Wheels, an activity which requires volunteers to serve as food delivery providers such as “Deliveroo” or “foodpanda”. Touch Community Services (Touch), the organization which runs Meals-on-Wheels, require volunteers on a daily basis as they have homebound elderly who need lunch and dinner delivered to them at their homes.
In 2016, CPIB embarked on some new initiatives that go beyond one’s wallet to show care and concern towards the less fortunate.
CPIB constantly encourages its officers to contribute to the community and to reach out to the underprivileged. For many years, the Bureau has been organising yearly food distribution during Chinese New Year to distribute food and necessities to the underprivileged elderly in the Redhill estate which is located near to the CPIB.
Since 2011, the CPIB has been bringing cheer to underprivileged children from Beyond Social Services during the end-of-year Christmas period by organising activities and sponsoring small tokens to brighten up their holidays.
