75th Anniversary Celebration Activities

25-26 May

"Homeland" Family Market 2024

"Homeland" Family Market is the highlight event of "Family Month" held annually in May. The market incorporates several major elements, combining shopping and entertainment, allowing the public to enjoy quality family time with their loved ones and to promote family wellbeing in Hong Kong. Our served families will be invited to the event, providing them with precious family moments as well as enhancing their social engagement.

Family First Campaign of the Society is once again partnering with LIFE MART to organise the Market. With the theme "Family is where Love is", this year's illustrator Venus Philosophy is invited to create the key visual with the primary colors. The interpretation of "Family is where Love is" emphasizes that love knows no geographical boundaries and has no limits. It aims to inspire everyone with the courage to transcend boundaries, continue the search for family well-being, and embrace the abundance of love.
