BOC Life Volunteer Team and Food Angel Jointly Prepare Healthy Meals for the Disadvantaged Community

The Volunteer Team of BOC Group Life Assurance Company Limited (‘BOC Life’) today participated in a food assistance programme organised by Food Angel, to share their love by preparing hot meals and food packs for the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the local economy with a surge in unemployment rate. It has added tremendous burden to the grassroots, and some of them even have difficulty in paying for their daily meals. Led by Mr Wilson Tang, the Chief Executive of BOC Life, our Volunteer Team participated in a food upcycling workshop organised by Food Angel, learning the importance of cherishing food and transforming edible surplus food into hot meals for the grassroots. This helps provide basic food access to the unemployed and those facing economic difficulties during the pandemic.

BOC Life is committed to driving good corporate citizenship, developing diversified community projects to give back to the society and support those in need.

“BOC Life has been actively supporting and participating in various kinds of community activities, as well as launching a variety of CSR programmes through different partnerships, to contribute to the society,” said Wilson Tang, Chief Executive of BOC Life.

“We appreciate the continuous support from different sectors of the community, enabling us to provide free meals to the underprivileged with the help of various corporates and volunteers,” said Ms Zoe Lee, Associate Chief Executive Officer of Food Angel. “We are much grateful for the strenuous efforts of BOC Life’s Volunteer Team, to facilitate a better understanding among corporations about our operation, in addition to taking care of the beneficiary’s needs, which will help foster our work moving forward.”
