Care, with boundaries.
Support, without dependency.
The Alpha Care Unit (ACU) is the community-care wing of Alpha Security Forum. We assist people and animals facing temporary hardship — case-by-case, responsibly, and in coordination with existing NPOs and community organisations.
Short-term practical support
Immediate, practical assistance where it matters most — food, toiletries, essential items and animal support — provided after assessment, with respect for both donors and recipients.
Not a welfare programme
ACU does not create long-term dependency. We coordinate support within defined limits, and work alongside organisations already serving the community.
Launch & Public Reference
ACU was launched as a community-driven initiative under Alpha Security Forum to mobilise residents who want to contribute time, skills or essential goods — with responsible coordination and clear boundaries.
How ACU works
We keep it simple: assess, coordinate, deliver, and close the loop — with privacy, accountability, and zero drama.
Case-by-case
Requests are reviewed individually. Assistance is rendered following careful consideration, within defined limits and with dignity.
No duplication
We work alongside other NPOs and community organisations to complement existing efforts — not to compete, duplicate, or create dependency.
Practical relief
Non-perishable food, toiletries and pet food are prioritised. When support is needed, we move quickly and respectfully, then close out with transparent internal notes.
Protect people — always
We don’t publish recipient addresses, names or sensitive details. Public posts stay general. If you know of someone in need, the team will contact you privately and take it from there.
Calm. Clear. Trustworthy.
ACU is built to feel safe to approach. No pressure tactics, no shame, no chaos — just structured help when it matters.
Principles
These are non-negotiable. They keep ACU effective and protect both donors and recipients.
Help without humiliation
Support is delivered respectfully. We do not exploit hardship for attention, content, or leverage.
Not open-ended
Support is coordinated and time-bound. When a case requires deeper intervention, we escalate to partner organisations better positioned for long-term support.
Clear stewardship
Donations and volunteer time are treated as community assets — handled responsibly, documented internally, and used for direct relief.
Donate / Volunteer
Three ways to help — pick one and stay consistent. Small, reliable contributions beat big once-offs.
Non-perishables
Grocery staples that can move fast when a family hits a temporary crisis.
- Rice, maize meal, pasta
- Tinned food, long-life milk
- Baby basics (where possible)
Toiletries
Quiet dignity items — often the first thing missing in a crisis.
- Soap, toothpaste, deodorant
- Sanitary products
- Toilet paper / wipes
Pet food
If the pets are struggling, chances are the owners are too. Supporting animals supports the whole household.
- Dog food / cat food
- Tins and dry food
- Basic pet essentials
Time & skills
Transport runs, sorting, ad-hoc assistance, connecting cases to the right organisations, or quietly checking on vulnerable households.
