The market is organized by Hong Kong Charity Bazaar in benefit of ImpactHK. Jeff Rotmeyer started ImpactHK when he saw a great need for fresh ideas on how the homeless in Hong Kong are treated.
Jeff believes multiple connections are essential for overcoming difficult times and he is extremely passionate about giving people in need an opportunity at happiness.
Get your ImpactHK branded t-shirts and caps as well as mugs and coffee beans at the event. All purchases support those experiencing homelessness with friendship, food, shelter, education and employment opportunity.
Local creatives have created a special collection of toys for the market. Crafty Charity Shop is run a community of artistic and volunteers who craft or learn to craft with a purpose. We raise funds for our partner charities through crafting and hosting craft workshops. We welcome all creative crafters to make, teach, or donate. Unleash your creativity and let’s craft together.
