ImpactHK hopes its first fundraising gala will not only make the non-profit organisation’s work helping Hong Kong’s homeless financially sustainable but be ‘a great party for us’, says its founder.
Jeff Rotmeyer, Hong Kong founder of the ImpactHK homeless charity and Love 21 charity to help the Down’s syndrome and autism communities, tells Kate Whitehead about his mission to teach the city to be kinder.
The Kind Kitchen, an initiative by NGO ImpactHK, is open all year round and serves the homeless, street cleaners, the elderly in need of food support, ethnic minorities and refugees.
Hong Kong’s homeless population has grown in the past year, and ImpactHK is working to find them work and accommodation, recently launching a fundraiser.
