Jockey Club “Look For Green” Mobile Recycling Programme (“Look For Green”) is a 2-year environmental project operated by Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) Environmental Protection and Green Living (EPGL) and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. Through Green Advertising Truck services and Second-hand Charity Sales events, “Look For Green” serves the East Kowloon community (Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung, Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City regions) and brings “Reduce”, “Reuse”, “Recycle” – “3R” elements straight into real estates and communities by its 3 core services: “Categorized Recycling”, “Community Sharing of Reusables” and “Green Education”.
Leverage on the advantages of high mobility and couple with its all-in-one features, the Look For Green Advertising Truck fulfills its mission hinted in the slogan “Green? Just down the stairs!”. Not only that recycling is made more convenient for residents, we wish participants could gain awareness and green knowledge through a happy and interesting experience, and be inspired to live a green lifestyle, join the green community and together increase the livability of our city.
Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) was established in 1954 by Miss Muriel Boone, a United Presbyterian missionary, to help Mandarin speaking refugees. Material aid, financial support and guidance in finding jobs were provided to needy families. The Agency was first located in 221 Sai Yee Street Mongkok and moved to 3 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong in 1965. In the early years, it was necessary to depend on gifts from churches overseas to finance the programme. However, the Hong Kong Government and The Community Chest have started to provide financial support as well since 1969. Over the years, the Agency’s work gradually extended and it has now developed into a multi-service agency, with the mission to support and enhance family functioning and to foster an environment for growth and change. We provide multi-services including: Children & Family Services, Youth Services, Elderly Care Services, Services for People with Disabilities, Mental Health Services, Active Ageing Services, Medical & Health Services, Opportunities & Inclusion for People with Disabilities, Environmental Protection & Green Living, Community Development Services, Whole Person Development & Professional Training, Employee Service Consultancy.
