Donates Masks to Less Fortunate

We also liaised with numerous charities (Love and Care for the Sick Foundation, Cedar Fund, Fu Hong Society, and Hong Kong Women Worker’s Association). All items were put in ‘anti-epidemic gift packets’, which had ten masks and 1kg of rice each. These were then distributed to the elderly. Overall, 10,000 masks were distributed. Volunteer teams from HK01 and Ola Tech personally visited the elderly homes to distribute the packages, ensuring that the elderly won’t have to leave their houses.
