This year, Hong Kong Disneyland enhanced the event by organizing a heart warming Thanksgiving Family Fun Day that was shared with families from Tsuen Wan. Held at the Liu Po Shan Memorial College in Tsuen Wan, the hot buffet lunch featuring a traditional turkey and stuffing was followed by an afternoon of fun games for all the family to enjoy!

The Disney VoluntEARS and their families constantly strive to make a positive impact on our community."
"I would also like to thank Social Welfare Department and our co-organizer, the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong Tsuen Wan Centre for their continuous supports; Also thank our sponsors for contributing to this meaningful activity, they are Bayern Gourmet Food Co Ltd, Fresh Channels Limited, FreshˇVCut Produces Ltd, The Garden Company Limited, Coca Cola , and last but not the least, Hong Kong Disneyland.
