Kerry’s Clubhouses Sponsor Hot-Meals for The Needy!

“We put our skills into helping the community, which not only demonstrates teamwork but also instils in me a value for the spirit of love and cooperation that gives life optimism and hope. Volunteering can best be understood when I meet the recipients personally, sharing small conversations, especially when I hand a lunch box to them. Their eyes shine with gratitude and they utter a sincere "thank you", it really melts my heart.”
- Mr. Lee Ying Lam, Head Chef, Dragons Range Club House.

Food is a gift. We thank God for it at the start of every meal, we sustain ourselves with it and we celebrate life’s major milestones with it.

In our monthly give-away of basic food packs to 560 families and the distribution of 96 cook-chill meal boxes per day at the Mong Kok Food Station, recently my staff informed me about pockets of Mong Kong residents who are so poor that they frequently can’t provide their family with a hot meal. This was not acceptable and I began praying and wondering if there were any upstanding, civic-minded corporations who could help.

The answer was Kerry Property Management Services Ltd. They happily committed to become our first corporate partner to supply hot meals for the needy.

With the combined efforts of the Clubhouse F&B teams of The Bloomsway, Dragons Range and Mantin Heights and with full support provided by the Owners’ Committees of these three properties, every month Kerry’s chefs pool their talents and cook up 200 delicious and highly nutritious 5-star dinner boxes for some of Mong Kok’s lowest-income families for this 6-month short-term programme!

I want us to do so much more, but I need your help. Would you please share any contacts you have at other corporations, so that we can present the "Cooked Hot-Meals Service” programme partnership opportunity to them also? Please let us know by contacting Ms. Wing Ko at secondhand@christian-action.org.hk or +852-2456-2220.

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 NIV

Thank you!
