Donate time
Goods flood into our warehouse. So do requests. In theory, we should have an empty warehouse. In actuality, we have a full one. The problem? We do not have enough people to process the goods at the needed rate.

Educational groups
Service days:
Sometimes school groups like to organise a day of work at Crossroads' warehouse.
Curriculum participation:
Other schools have included Crossroads on their curriculum as a service 'subject' which their students attend each week.
Off-site projects:
Schools also organise volunteer activities for students within their own campus precincts. These include projects or special drives to target specific commodities needed for shipments.
To arrange your time with Crossroads, please contact our staff: volunteer@crossroads.org.hk
Note: If your group includes children under 15, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate them with an appropriate activity.
