Towngas Organises Hong Kong’s first "Hand-in-Hand Mooncakes-of-Love" Workshop
Towngas cooperated with the Hong Kong Community Network - LINK Centre to organise the first “Hand-in-Hand Mooncakes-of-Love” Workshop in Hong Kong, aiming to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with ethnic minorities and promoted diversity and inclusion. The workshop also kicked off the 16th annual “Towngas Mooncakes for the Community” campaign.
At the workshop, Towngas volunteers and more than 20 Ethnic Minority (EM) kids formed teams to join hands in making the mooncakes. The theme of “diversity and inclusion” was accentuated by adding different colours to the pastry of the mooncakes with the same delicious lotus paste inside.
This marks the 16th year of the “Mooncakes for the Community” campaign. Towngas hopes to spread the spirit of integration, diversity, inclusion and love during the Mid-Autumn Festival by sharing mooncakes with the needy. More than 1.8 million mooncakes-of-love will be distributed across Hong Kong. Following a long tradition, Towngas will invite more than 124 charity groups and local organisations to help distribute over 100,000 mooncakes-of-love to the needy.
