Every year, The Salvation Army organises the ‘Share the Blessings’ Chinese New Year Appeal. Themed ‘A Warm New Year’ this year, the appeal aims to celebrate a new year of love and warmth with those in need in the community – including low-income families, the elderly, street sleepers, caregivers, etc – with a series of festive activities and community care services. We sincerely invite people from all walks of life to join hands with The Salvation Army by donating money, goods, or volunteering, to spread love and warmth throughout the community.

Our goal is to raise HK$500,000 and donations will go into supporting the Army’s community services, including distributing winter clothing and providing food and supplies to 3,000 people in need within the community, such as the elderly, low-income families, street sleepers, caregivers, etc.

The Salvation Army Children’s Chinese Fun Carnival at Citywalk

The Salvation Army’s 17 nursery schools will once again host The Salvation Army Children’s Chinese Fun Carnival at Citywalk from 18 January to 16 February 2025. The nursery schools will transform the atrium of Citywalk 2 in Tsuen Wan into an ancient Chinese town called The Salvation Army Children’s Fun Town. This event allows adults and children to step back in time and experience various themed stalls related to traditional Chinese architecture, games, culinary culture, folk crafts, and performing arts. During the event, participants can also enjoy wonderful performances and art creations by the Army’s students and service users from the Social Services Department. In addition to visiting Children’s Fun Town and enjoying the performances, you are welcome to browse and buy charity sale items to support The Salvation Army’s frontline services

The Salvation Army Joyful Charity CNY Chill Fest

The Salvation Army will host The Salvation Army Joyful Charity CNY Chill Fest over two consecutive weekends, from 17 to 19 January and 24 to 26 January 2025, at Lee Tung Avenue in Wan Chai. Various local artists, crafters, and organic farms will set up over 15 stalls and charity sales booths on site, inviting everyone to chill and celebrate the joyous festival together!

This year, there are three exquisite red packet designs with auspicious blessings. May your new year be full of joy and peace.

(Donations will go into supporting The Salvation Army’s community care services.)

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Every donation of Lai See brings a warmer New Year. It can be turned into blessings for vulnerable communities. The Salvation Army Lai See Donation Campaign encourages people of all ages to donate their red packet money to share the joy with others and extend the blessings. Donations of HK$ 100 or above are tax-deductible.
