Pit Stop of comfort and dignity for the homeless

Home for the homeless: People lining up as volunteers dish out food at the Pit Stop along Jalan Tun H.S. Lee in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Among the numerous soup kitchens opera­ting in the city centre, one sets out not just to fill the tummies of the homeless people but to give them a sense of comfort and dignity, too.

At 101, Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, where the Pit Stop Community Cafe started operating seven months ago, lunch and dinner are served to the needy in a relatively comfortable environment with tables and chairs.
