Last Friday, Century Hong Kong had the incredible opportunity to partner with More Good to prepare and distribute meal boxes for those in need! We had an amazing team of 14 volunteers from our Hong Kong office, along with Vince F. from Hasbro, one of our VIP customers, joining forces to make a positive impact! Our volunteers came together in a professional kitchen to create balanced, nutritious meals. We divided into teams to prepare a wholesome menu, including mixed grain rice, pulled chicken, and fresh vegetables like sweet potatoes and cabbage. After our hard work, we packed the food into over 300 meal boxes, ready for distribution to local charities as well as the nearby community. Our volunteers took part in delivering the meal boxes to elderly residents at Yue Wan Estate, and it was heartwarming to see the smiles on their faces. A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially to Tina Pavri from More Good, who guided us through the afternoon! Your efforts truly make a difference in the lives of those around us. Let’s continue to inspire each other to do more good in our local community! ???? #MoreGoodHK #MoreGoodMeals #DoMoreGood #CommunitySupport #CenturyCares #Volunteer #MakeADifference #TogetherWeCan
