AS Watson stands united with the Tai Po community, showing care to the affected residents. With support from the Housing Bureau, our retail brand Fortress has donated over HK$1 million worth of home appliances to more than 30 transitional housing units across Hong Kong. During this challenging time, we remain steadfast in our belief that love is the greatest strength. Through essential appliances such as kettles, rice cookers, hair dryers, and microwave ovens, we hope to convey care and warmth, bringing convenience and comfort to the affected families.
AS Watson’s retail brand Fortress is taking action to bring warmth and support to residents affected by the recent fire. We have donated 85 Fortress refrigerators and arranged installation for families living in the transitional housing “Good House” in Tai Po Shuen Wan, operated by charity SideBySide. This ensures they can safely store meals provided by Food Angel, helping protect their daily lives and deliver comfort and hope.
