Together for Tai Po

Ongoing support for families affected by the Wang Fuk Court fire

As Hong Kong continues to navigate the aftermath of the Tai Po fire, our hearts remain firmly with the thousands of families affected by this tragedy. We extend our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones in this tragic event and our thoughts are with the injured and displaced residents during this difficult time.

We are so grateful to all those who have reached out, offering their time, resources and compassion. The work to set up the infrastructure for long-term support is underway and with your support, Feeding Hong Kong will be there to help as needed on the road to recovery – with food and care.

Our response and ongoing support

Community collaboration is at the heart of all we do at Feeding Hong Kong.

We are continuing to work closely with official organisations and frontline charities to understand the evolving needs of the Wong Fuk Court community, so that resources can be redirected to the right people at the right time. This includes our ongoing response to direct requests for food and personal care products from charities supporting with transitional housing, as well as other forms of assistance such as supermarket vouchers and care boxes.

100% of the support received for the Together for Tai Po campaign – both financial contributions and food donations – are being directed entirely to supporting the affected families and the long-term recovery efforts, guided by the priorities of frontline charities.

To manage this incredible influx of generosity from food companies and individuals, we have secured additional warehouse space and logistics support. Our dedicated Together for Tai Po Foodbank is acting as a safe and central deposit for product donations to be redistributed when and where needed, whilst crucially minimising waste.

How you can help

We’re so grateful for the continued offers of support and the community’s energy and heartfelt desire to help.

At this stage, we have closed our phase one call for food, funds and friends, so that we can focus on redistributing the resources already shared and accommodating the helping hands of those on our current volunteer waitlist. At the same time, we are continuing our work to support other vulnerable communities across the city and with your help will continue to save food and deliver food security across Hong Kong.

We will share more updates on our Tai Po response in due course and our plans to ease day-to-day food needs and offer a sense of stability to affected families during this difficult time. To keep updated on this and how you can help with food, funds and friends for our ongoing work, sign up below for our newsletter.

We are actively working with our existing charity network, as well other strategic NGO partners, to provide assistance to affected families.
