Neighbours matter

Every day, we see our neighbours and say hello. Sometimes we give them a hand, eat together and visit each other, but often we don't spare the time. At the Federation, we encourage a sense of community and celebrate in our neighbourhoods by making hot soup together in December, sharing it and offering it to those in need. Please come and help us.

This annual volunteer festivity in mid-December is called "Loving Soup." It is organized by HKFYG Youth SPOTs in Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long. We're sure you'll want to contribute. Join us in the fun-filled effort of making 4,000 bowls of delicious, warming soup to deliver to underprivileged families, single elderly households.
