Feed the Homeless Volunteer Group is a Christian group of young volunteers who have put together resources to reach out to the vulnerable, essential caregivers and frontline staff at health facilities in the Tema enclave.
The group’s goal is to provide 1,000 medical gloves and 500 reusable fabric masks to fuel station attendants, nurses, medical assistants, doctors, pharmacy attendants and other people at the frontlines of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
They are also looking mainly to provide face masks and other supplies to the homeless and needy in the Tema area so that at the time of a partial lockdown, these unfortunate members of our communities will not feel left out.
In a statement to Daily Accra, co-founder of the group, Michael Nana Kwame Baafi Aboagye, says the need to provide for the needy in society and the frontline staff was borne out of the enormity of the resources needed to overcome COVID-19 and the funding gap he saw.
Even though they are a group of young people, they want to help from their limited resources.
“You don’t need more to do more. We are receiving donations to help combat COVID-19 in our own small way.”
They are calling on Christians who may feel the need to do more to support the less privileged and frontline healthcare and other professionals to make their donations available by contacting them to pick it up wherever they may be.
“We are still receiving donations to help combat COVID-19” the statement read.
