Mooncakes Donation Program – The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon – Chu Ting Cheong Home For The Aged

The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon was established in the mid-19th century, originating from the “gongcheng” (public scale) near the Lun Jin Pier , where goods were weighed for trade. All proceeds from the weighing were used for charitable purposes, and in 1880, it officially became a charitable organization. Lok Sin Tong Chu Ting Cheong Home For The Aged is a government subvented combined home for the elderlies. The buildings and land were generously donated in 1976 by Mr. Chu Yan Kit, according to his late father Mr. Chu Ting Cheong’s will, to further the cause of social welfare. It began providing services in 1983 and has commenced its service conversion programme. The present capacity includes placements in the Old People’s Home Section, Long-term Care Section and Infirmary Section.

Orbis will consolidate the orders and deliver mooncakes to designated organizations in late September. There is no need for supporters to pick up or make arrangement to donate mooncakes. (If the selected donation organization reaches its donation limit, Orbis will allocate the mooncakes to another donation organization.)
