Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic remains severe and volatile, the economic downturn that occurred over the past year has rendered quite a number of people homeless, and the number of street sleepers has been on the rise.  We have found that the number of street sleepers in Tsim Sha Tsui district has increased by 100 per cent recently, especially after mandatory suspension on dine-in services. Some are ladies and first-time street sleepers due to job losses during the outbreak.  As the Lunar New Year is approaching, Lions Club of Central desire that the activity could bring our warmth and love to the homeless people. We’ve visited the street sleepers in Tsim Sha Tsui, Yaumatei and Kwun Tong and have distributed sleeping bags, clothes, quilt, essential hygiene kits, epidemic prevention materials, biscuits.
