About Us
Our mission is to develop a harmonious ageing community in the Kowloon area.
Who We Are
Starting in 2015, GiveRice852 began with the efforts of two women - Maggi, and her mother - giving out lunchboxes to senior citizens living around To Kwa Wan.
Residents, noticing their work chipped in to support and spread word of their activities. Now, eight years in the making, GiveRice852 has expanded into a tight-knit community of volunteers and supporters, hoping to alleviate some of the burdens the elderly face.
"Working in my mother's store in To Kwa Wan, I always noticed those elderlies pushing their street carts, and wanted to help them in any way I could."
- Maggi, Founder of GiveRice852
What We Do
Our core mission is to provide assistance to senior citizens living in Hong Kong, through organising workshops, connecting skilled and professional volunteers and corporations.
Through our work, we aim to:
1. Support and enrich the lives of senior citizens in Hong Kong
From food donations, musculoskeletal health to hair and dental care, we introduce those who join us to engage in new and exciting activities, promoting better health, consumption and communication practices. Promoting better health, consumption and communication practices.
2. Connect people together in a supportive, caring community
Foster an environment where everyone can share their experiences, help each other in times of need, and connect with one another.
3. Expand our efforts and help even more elderly in other areas of Hong Kong.
To address problems and struggles our elderly face, we want to broaden our reach and diversify our activities. This means expanding beyond our base of operations, having our volunteers experience different facets of our work, and facilitating people's growth!
