In recent years, demand for affordable hot meals among the elderly and the underprivileged has been rising. In response to the situation, the Club donated HK$19.7 million in 2013 to the St. James’ Settlement to cover the cost of equipping and running a kitchen in East Kowloon to prepare hot meals for the needy. In addition to covering the project’s operating costs for two-and-a-half years, the Club’s donation also went toward the purchase of a delivery van and other essential equipment.
