Save Our Santa

Over 30 companies have shown their support on our "Save Our Santa” event last month. Santa and his reindeer are now fully charged and are ready to deliver used clothes donation to different people. Some of the clothes will be sent to a recycling factory to undergo upcycling procedures which new textile can be obtained.

In addition to donating clothes to reduce waste, Santa would also like to call for public’s adoption to "Goodbye Goodbuy” habit. Say Goodbye to waste and over-consumption; Goodbuy when buying new clothes. Choose clothes that are made from sustainable materials so that they can be worn for a long period.

Winter Clothes Distribution at Shui Pin

Jointly-organised with Samuel Lai, District Council Member of Yuen Long Shui Bin, Winter Clothes Distribution at Shui Pin was successfully held on 29 December. Around 1,000 clothes were distributed to approximately 200 participants.

Please stay tuned for more clothes distributing events in the future!
