The Box of Hope Team
Support our Cause
Our concept is simple: to bring a little joy to underprivileged children, while at the same time teaching HK school children about poverty and the benefits of gift giving.
We believe that every child should experience the excitement of receiving a gift, no matter their background or life circumstances.
Each year school children, businesses and the local community come together to donate boxes filled with essential, fun, and active items, to give to a child that would not normally receive a gift over the festive period.
We work in collaboration with local, and some overseas charities to support the children and families who receive the boxes.
We are are grateful for the support of a local network of distribution and logistics companies who enable the boxes to reach their recipients.
None of what we do would be possible without the support of our volunteers, schools and sponsors who support us both financially and in kind.
Together, we bring Joy
How your Box Makes an Impact
We know from our partnerships with the charities that the work we do makes a difference. The children feel respected, included, grateful, for being thought of by their local community. Receiving the boxes and sharing the contents with their friends and siblings, brings them a little joy.
