In Xinzhuang Community, Guangming District, every morning, sanitation workers, elderly people in need, etc., can receive free love porridge breakfast. Xinzhuang Community Love Porridge is a heartwarming service that is strongly supported by the Xinzhuang Community Party Committee and Xinzhuang Community Workstation and operated independently by volunteers.
In order to better promote this service, so that residents in need can enjoy benefits, and at the same time, they can also absorb more caring power and people to join the team of love porridge, Xinzhuang Community recently launched a series of "love porridge" promotion activities, including 4 food production activities undertaken and planned by Guangming District Social Work Service Center, 1 volunteer training, 1 volunteer team building activity and 3 publicity activities.
Parent-child families and volunteers participated in the production of cupcakes and pizza, the elderly in the community made glutinous rice balls, and volunteers made variegated steamed buns... Not long ago, the four food production activities were successfully carried out. At each event site, the staff would first introduce the establishment and operation of love porridge to the participants, which not only promoted love services but also harmonized neighborhood relations.
cupcake making activity attracted more than 30 people to participate; pizza production activity attracted 15 parent-child families to participate, and glutinous rice cake production activity attracted more than 20 elderly people to participate...
"The seeds of love are like pizza getting bigger and bigger during the baking process, which slowly fermented in the hearts of children since childhood, and gradually matured as time goes by." said a staff member of the Guangming District Social Work Service Center of Social Work Service Center. There are many volunteers in the
event. The flower-made steamed buns attracted more than 10 volunteers to participate. Under the leadership of the food teacher, we jointly make colorful steamed buns. Some volunteers are kneading the dough, some follow the teacher's steps to make cute radish-shaped steamed buns, and some volunteers skillfully make vague buns in the shape of little white rabbits. The steamed buns made will be shared for free with sanitation workers, elderly people and other people in need, for free.
A volunteer at the scene told reporters that the volunteers all participated in the volunteer training activities held previously. The organizer invited senior volunteers from the Love Porridge Shop to explain the establishment and history of Love Porridge, the content of daily services, precautions, communication skills with vulnerable groups, etc. "Through this training, we have a deeper understanding of the significance of the establishment of 'Love Porridge', strengthened our original intention to participate in the service of charity porridge shops, and improved our service skills through training."
"Through a series of food production activities, people of different ages and identities are invited to participate, and food is used as a medium to better promote the love porridge service in Xinzhuang Community." A relevant person in charge of Xinzhuang Community said that the participants not only understand the food production technology, but more importantly, let them know that Xinzhuang Community has such warm services. Many selfless and dedicated people do such things every day to care for and care for the disadvantaged groups in society, so that more caring people and the power of love will join the ranks of charity porridge, and at the same time, let the disadvantaged groups in need know the service.
"True love warms the world, volunteers to serve Xinzhuang, and build a harmonious home together. Thank you, glorious volunteers! Congratulations to you, outstanding volunteers!" With the high-pitched recitation of social workers, a commendation ceremony for the volunteers of love porridge was held. When community leaders commended volunteers, some people couldn't help but turn red, and the volunteers' efforts for love porridge were recognized. It is reported that in order to let more vulnerable groups feel the warmth of love porridge, the community will assist the love porridge shop in establishing the love porridge foundation.
In order to further promote the love porridge project to community residents and attract more community residents to participate in the love porridge activities, Xinzhuang Community carried out the love porridge theme publicity activities in the Wansheng Department Store, Xinwei Basketball Court, and Dawei Community Square in Xinzhuang Community from September 22 to 24, respectively. Through interactive experience games, volunteers and social workers, we introduced the love porridge project to community residents, so that everyone can better understand the content and spirit of the love porridge project. All three publicity activities started at 4 pm, which was the hot time, but it could not stop the residents from participating in the activities.The event attracted many community residents to stop and learn about the Love Porridge Project. The residents who directly participated in the experience activities and learned about the Love Porridge Project were all moved by the dedication spirit and perseverance of the Love Porridge volunteers. They also consulted on-site how social workers participated in the volunteer activities of Love Porridge, including the main service groups of Love Porridge, such as the elderly, sanitation workers, etc. It is reported that the three events successfully recruited several new volunteers to volunteer for Love Porridge.
