Volunteer opportunity
Oxfam rice event
The annual Oxfam Rice Event in Hong Kong and Macau brings attention to the poverty issue of smallholder farmers. By selling Oxfam rice, the event encourages public donations to support these farmers in overcoming extreme weather conditions and building sustainable livelihoods.
You can inspire employees to unite as a volunteer team, collaborate in establishing rice stalls and selling Oxfam rice, supporting Oxfam's initiatives and fostering team spirit. This endeavor is ideal for employees spanning various age groups, inviting their families to partake, and collectively contributing towards poverty alleviation efforts!
Oxfam Rice Event 2025 takes place on 10, 11, 18, 25 May.
