It’s no secret that things are tough right now. From the anti-extradition protests to the coronavirus outbreak, Hong Kong’s citizens have had a rough time for the past year.
Right now, more people than ever need help — and 7-Eleven has partnered with five NGOs to make charitable giving as simple as buying a pack of gum.
On Sunday, 7-Eleven announced its charity meal voucher program to help feed the underprivileged members of Hong Kong society. From April 20 to May 17, you can walk into any 7-Eleven and buy a HKD15 meal voucher with a tap of your Octopus card.
You’ll get a receipt with a QR code, which will take you to a form where you can select which NGOs to donate the meal vouchers to. Participating charities include Pei Ho Counterparts — run by Brother Ming, who has been feeding Sham Shui Po’s homeless, elderly, and poor for years — and the People’s Food Bank, which provides meals to low-income individuals, at-risk families, and the unemployed.
