In March 2009, Shanghai’s first community service center opened its doors at 33 Shengping Street.
The 400-square-meter facility was established to better regulate street vendors and provide essential services, including small appliance repairs and mending.
In 2023, the center received a significant upgrade as part of the “15-Minute Community Life Circle” initiative.
New features include a community canteen, a library and a daytime care center for the elderly. The expansion also introduced a Red Cross service station, a veterans’ service center and various other convenience points, all aimed at offering comprehensive, accessible services to residents of all ages.
The canteen provides lunch and dinner daily, serving up to 214 meals per day. Local seniors aged 60 and above receive a 10-percent discount, and the canteen also caters to customized meal requests.
The community library caters to diverse reading interests and doubles as a dining area during peak meal times.
To support elderly residents, the subdistrict offers a 15-yuan senior meal plan. Meals are delivered from the canteen to eight elderly-care stations across different neighborhoods. For those over 90 or with mobility issues, home delivery is available.
The canteen also addresses the needs of nearly 100,000 white-collar workers, making dining more affordable and accessible.
Convenience service stalls along the street enhance accessibility and comfort, offering clothing alterations; watch, shoe and umbrella repair; eyeglass fittings; and mending. These services are also regularly delivered to elderly-care stations to serve residents who live further away.
The daytime care center for the elderly provides eight hours of daily care, including rehabilitation, health management and cultural activities, easing the caregiving load for families. The community activity room hosts various cultural and recreational activities for both the elderly and local residents.
