As many of you will probably be aware that the recent outbreak of Novel Coronavirus in Italy is very serious. In view of this, Caritas – Hong Kong would like to unite the strength of our community to donate masks that meet hygiene standards to Italy in order to help people there in this difficult time. Masks collected will be sent directly to Caritas Internationalis in Rome, which will then be delivered to hospitals or the needy in Italy. Please give your generous support through the following means:

 

1)      Donate masks*

Send the masks to the reception on 4/F, Caritas House, 2 Caine Road, Hong Kong on or before 5pm on 26/3 (Thursday). Please mark "Donate to Italy" on the packing.

 

2)      Donate money for procuring masks

Direct deposit the money into the following "Caritas – Hong Kong" account on or before 5pm on 24/3 (Tuesday):

(i) ICBC (Asia) : 721-021-000-713 or

Please send the bank-in slip to 9050 7670 via WhatsApp together with your name, contact number and mailing address for issuing of donation receipt (if needed).

 

I sincerely hope that you could give a helping hand and call on your family and friends to join the action. Thank you.
