Progress in Issuing Receipts Since the appeal being made after 5.12 Sichuan earthquake, the HKRC has been receiving tremendous response from the public and we estimate initially that closing to 600,000 receipts shall be issued. It takes great efforts and much time for data entry, checking, bank verification and issuing of receipts. For donations made through over 500 organizations and companies, the possessing procedures are even more complicated. The HKRC has already speeded up the issuance of receipts, many of them have started to mail out in August. However, for complete mailing out of all the 600,000 receipts, we do need more times up to November 2008. The last two batches of receipts to be possessed are donations made through organizations and companies, and donors who have already received a Temporary Receipt at the time of handing over their donations to HKRC in person. We apologize for these delay and appeal for donors’ patience. We also look for your continued support to our humanitarian work. |

As the emergency relief needs have been largely met, starting from 1 August 2008, all donations received by the “Hong Kong Red Cross China Relief Fund” bank accounts will be used for supporting other disaster related work in China, except those specified donations for the Sichuan Earthquake. In addition, donations received via “7-Eleven” after 31 July 2008 will be allocated to support the humanitarian work of the Hong Kong Red Cross. Receipt Arrangement For receipt issuance, donors please mail the original copy of bank-in slip or cash donation receipt issued by 7-Eleven stores together with name of receipt for issuance, contact no. and mailing address, to us.
