7-Eleven pledges to give 1,000 7-SELECT chicken legs every week for 40 consecutive weeks to help those in need in Hong Kong

At the
height of the pandemic last year, 7-Eleven initiated several activities to help
those most impacted by the outbreak. It donated and delivered 70,000 food items
to local neighbourhoods and launched the Charity Meal Voucher Programme, which
raised over 550,000 vouchers to provide hot meals to disadvantaged people and low-income
families. Although the pandemic situation in Hong Kong is starting to stabilise
this year, 7-Eleven remains committed to showing care and support to the most
vulnerable in society as it marks its 40-year anniversary. A total of 40,000
Chicken Legs will be donated and distributed over a period of 40 weeks in
partnership with Food Angel.

The
donations will be delivered to recipients via Food Angel’s Community Centre,
Community Food Assistance Service and Automated Food Dispenser Service – an
innovative initiative that allows for the flexible collection of chilled meals.
Food Angel will also distribute the donations across its 180 charity partners.
The donation programme is expected to help over 10,000 recipients including the
elderly, low-income families, people recovering from mental health problems,
cage home residents and disabled people.
