Sino Group (‘the Group’) has been supporting the local community through the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation (‘the NTFCF’) while continuing to take care of the health and wellbeing of its employees amid the on-going COVID-19 situation.

Many less-resourced families and individuals in the community have been greatly affected by the impact of COVID-19 on their lives and livelihoods. In view of the critical need to help needy families, individuals, and ethnic minority groups within society, the NTFCF has taken the initiative to donate essential food items such as rice, noodles, hot meal coupons, and drinks through six community partners, the Society for Community Organization; Asbury Methodist Social Service; Christian Concern for the Homeless Association; St James’ Settlement; Kwun Tong Methodist Social Service; and The Zubin Foundation. In addition, the NTFCF has also engaged community kitchen, Joyous Kitchen, and donated frozen food, rice, and condiments for the preparation of nutritious hot meals for people in need. In total, the NTFCF will donate around 40,000 meals through this food donation drive.

‘The demand for immediate food assistance has increased in the first quarter. We are thankful to the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation for donating food items and meal coupons. The support is especially crucial during this critical period,’ said Ms Noel Yeung, General Secretary of Kwun Tong Methodist Social Service.

Meanwhile, in appreciation of the dedicated work of its employees during this challenging time and to safeguard their health, the Group, for the second time, distributed around 10,000 care packs to its employees. The care packs were prepared by staff volunteers, with each pack containing a box of surgical masks, hand sanitising gel, disinfectant spray and wipes, as well as mask holders and electrolyte drinks. The Group hopes to keep colleagues safe and to strengthen their immunity during this period.

‘I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all colleagues for their tireless work and professionalism amid one of the greatest challenges in history. By distributing these care packs, we hope to strengthen their immunity and protect their health. I would also like to thank our community partners for their tremendous help to support the people in need during this critical situation. By supporting and caring for each other, we shall be able to weather the challenge together. Bless Hong Kong,’ remarks Mr Daryl Ng, Deputy Chairman of Sino Group and Director of the NTFCF.
