There are volunteers in Singapore doing charity work.
Many do go around chatting up and counsel those in need, too
Some involved daily distributing of packaged foods to the poor and disabled living in one room rental flat in Jalan Kukoh and Chinatown and elsewhere,
too.
These charities worked behind the scenes, seeking volunteers to help them in their distribution of foods.
Some were involved in collecting vegetables and other excess materials from shops and businesses.
Others involved in cleaning and de-cluttering of these poor and aged and disabled people.
Also medical supports like nursing and therapist now go to the source to see and medicate them, on doctor's treatment basis.
Now medical support is brought to the sources as these poor and elderly and disabled cannot afford old home.
Also there are not old folk homes. Also most are not keen to be confined and kept in nursing homes, as their freedom of loitering around on their own is restricted and curbed.
There is a need of having a community homes where these people can live in
the same blocks where communal cooking is provided for them to bond and
space to chit chat with each other with confidence and safety, too.

Its quite common to see various groups of young Malaysian going around at
night in the street n giving out free food to those homeless ppl ( mostly
came from the eastern side if Malaysia..ie Sabah or Sarawak) sleeping in the side pavement around KL streets.
U hardly see this sort of volunteer work done by our sg younger generation..
Probably they themselves being stressed up by the hi cost of living..
