Among services which will be provided by Hope Place to these longhouses are food supply, health screening, dental and hairdressing.
The food donation is worth around RM34,000 ― which comprises 230 packets of 10kg rice, 230 packets of 1kg sugar, 230 packets of 1kg salt, 230 boxes of dry noodles, 230 bottles of cooking oil, 230 boxes of biscuits, 230 packets of 1kg malt drink, 24 packets of milk powder and 100 packets of oats.
