CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING STORIES 2017

HandsOn Hong Kong partners with various types of companies to collectively serve the community. Over the years, we are proud to have partnered with more than 200 companies and their passionate volunteers. Together we have built a range of meaningful service programs for their employees and clients. Here is a sampling of recent corporate programs.

American Express – Spreading joy in the community during the 'Season of Giving'

American Express volunteers went above and beyond to support the local community in the lead up to the holiday season, taking part in five activities in support of several wonderful Hong Kong NGOs:

- In October 24 Amex volunteers did their bit for the fight against food waste by packing 2,000 meal boxes in the Food Angel kitchen using discarded but nutritious food items;

- In November 20 volunteers joined a day camp for 6-10 year old children from under-resourced families served by The Boys' and Girls' Club Association to help develop their self-esteem and communication skills (they even built catapults together!);

- Later that month 25 volunteers headed to the Food Angel kitchen to help sort and prepare around 550kg of vegetables to be included as part of lunchboxes for people in need;

- At the start of December AMEX volunteers gave their time at New Life Interactive Farm to prepare eco-friendly amenity kits for gifting to underprivileged elderly along with hand-written Christmas cards sending each of them warm wishes;

- AMEX ended their wonderful community service for their year with a very special yum cha gathering to celebrate Winter Solstice, bringing holiday joy to 80 elderly citizens from the HKMEA Jane Shu Tsao Neighbourhood Elderly Centre.
