Kwong Fuk relief stations overflow with supplies amid Tai Po fire response

Supply stations at Kwong Fuk Estate brimmed with essentials at noon as volunteers urged donors to hold off, confirming sufficient stocks for residents displaced by the Tai Po blaze.

The stations offered various supplies, including solid meals, drinks, first aid medicine, adhesive bandages, masks, paper underwear, and shampoo.

A group of secondary school students from the nearby Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School, in uniforms, handed out snacks and fruit at the station. 

One student told the reporter that they offered displaced residents freshly cooked vegetarian lunchboxes and hot tea provided by local restaurants in the neighborhood . 

“Prescription grains and blankets for pets can be obtained. We want to deliver them to people in need as soon as possible,” said Tracy Wong, 30, a volunteer at a pet supplies booth on site. 

The pet supplies booth called on the public to stop sending more cat and dog food as it had sufficient resources collected. 

Other booths worked on sorting clothes, separating heavy winter garments from lighter clothes on the ground. 

Additional services at the stations included blood pressure checks and counseling sessions to comfort residents.
