The group work Giving Lunch is designed with the purpose of providing lunch companion service and food delivery service for the elderly by enabling disabilities.The service aims to bridge both groups for mutual benefits. On the one hand, to reduce empty nesters’ level of loneliness, we empower IDDs to provide lunch delivery and companionship service for those in the community. On the other hand, we empower people both young and old in the same community to help providing supportive employment for IDDs. Engagement would be guided and all kinds of resource would be integrated, thus empowering both groups to better realize their unique values.
