Bringing Joy to Seniors Amid the Mid-Autumn Festival

In conjunction with the Evergreen Luncheon Show, three thousand seniors received complimentary gift bags comprising mooncakes of assorted flavours, biscuits, and coconut beverages amid the Mid-Autumn Festival. 

During the distribution phase, more than 100 volunteers distributed the gift bags from 24 September to 1 October 2023. Of the 3,000 gift bags distributed, 945 gift bags were distributed to 13 centres of the Chinese Development Assistance Council.
