- Targets to provide more than 48 tonnes of consumable dairy products to 4,000 grass-roots families
- Aims to promote importance of dairy and healthy lifestyle among the underprivileged
HONG KONG SAR – and doing 60 minutes of exercise[2] every day.
To celebrate FrieslandCampina’s 150 years from “grass-to-glass”, Hong Kong World Milk Day has partnered with the Hong Kong Rope Skipping Club to organise the “150 Rope Skipping Challenge”. Participants can win a prize while contributing to the size of the first batch of dairy donations for the “Milk Bank” programme.
The challenge will take place in mid-June and allow parents and children to learn simple rope skipping skills by watching demonstration videos on the official Facebook page of “World Milk Day HK”. Hong Kong World Milk Day will donate six packs of dairy products via “Milk Bank” for every successful attempt of the “150 Rope Skipping Challenge”[3]. The activity aims to encourage families to help the disadvantaged while having a healthy lifestyle under the “2 + 60” and “Drink Move Be Strong” concepts.
Employees Act as “Milk Runners” to Raise Awareness of Food Demand in Hong Kong
In response to the “Milk Bank” programme, FrieslandCampina’s employees acted as “Milk Runners” and participated in the “Bread Runner” volunteering activity organised by Feeding Hong Kong in May. The team successfully collected surplus bread from different merchants that was distributed to families in need along with BLACK & WHITE® and DUTCH LADY® dairy products donated by FrieslandCampina. FrieslandCampina hopes to promote the importance of cherishing food and helping the others in the community.
