Thank you for showing interest in our ‘share with homeless’ group!🇰🇷
Your presence is highly appreciated. It means that there is a seed within you that cares for other people. Now, just let it grow.😉
We’re all different in personalities, nationalities, races and religions, but join as one, with the hope of making a difference to those in need. And no special skills are required, just bring your warm heart, that’s all you need…💖

❓WHAT WE DO
➡️Food and drinks
• We prepare food and drinks for the homeless people at Yeongdeungpo station (line 1), in Seoul. For every gathering we buy 135 pieces of the following items: cup noodles, bread, laver packs, choco pie, sausages and a cool drink.🍪
• At a spot behind the station, we hand out the food and drinks to the homeless people waiting for us in the line. Have a look at the photos and videos on our Facebook group and Instagram page (links below). This will give you a good idea about our activities.
➡️Other items
• Every last gathering of the month we also hand other items to the homeless. If you have used clothes or new items like soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and shaving razors at home, you can bring them and we’ll distribute these to the homeless.
• If you would like to donate other items, but are not sure if they would be suitable for the homeless, then just leave a message and we’ll get back to you.
➡️And we try to do more…
• Volunteering should not be limited to some repetitive actions. It’s much more than that. It’s a social interaction, where we show our kindness and compassion. It’s about treating the homeless with respect and handing out food with a smile.😀

📅WHEN WE MEET
• Every two weeks on Sunday. We gather between 4:45 and 5pm. The event finishes at 6pm.
• Please be on time as the homeless people will be waiting for us.
• In case you are running late, or cannot make it, then send me a message on kakaotalk (ID janfrombelgium). If we haven’t heard from you by 5:10pm, then we’ll assume you won’t be joining us.

📍WHERE WE MEET
• Yeongdeungpo station (line1-dark blue line) outside exit 6.
• 🚫NOT Yeongdeungpo gucheong station (line2/5)

👥WHO CAN JOIN
• Anyone with a warm heart.❤️

People with different ages and backgrounds from different parts of the world providing some relief to the homeless in Seoul. Isn’t that nice!🤩
• And children can also join. We’ve had several children from ages between 6 and 12 helping us out and they did great!👍

• Social media is great tool to spread who we are and what our group stands for. I takes some time to write posts, upload photos and create videos, but it’s great to see that more Koreans and foreigners are finding their way to our event through social media.
• Feel free to share our posts, stories and reels on Facebook and Instagram. It helps us to attract more volunteers and also to raise awareness among Seoul citizens about the homeless population in Seoul.

‼️IMPORTANT
• Please leave your valuables in our car behind the station. Don’t leave them at the spot where we hand out food.🚗
• We take photos and videos during our event, which we later post on Facebook and Instagram. Let us know if you don’t want to be shown on social media.📽️
• Some of the homeless people can be drunk and therefor sometimes act loudly and offensively. Let us know if this makes you feel unpleasant or unsafe. Our regular members have experience with removing this person in a gentle way.

💰SUPPORT US
It is with your financial support that we can add extra food items and keep the group running.
