Founded in 1968 in response to social problems brought about by Hong Kong’s population spike in the 1960s, the Community Chest’s original goal was to raise funds for local social welfare agencies to improve their services, following the departure of several international agencies.
Since then the Community Chest, led by president Charles Lee, has raised funds for more than 160 agencies focused on children and youth, child and family welfare, the elderly, health, rehabilitation, and community service. It organises more than 40 fundraising events every year, including signature events Walks for Millions, Dress Casual Day and Flag Day.
