Carousell Initiates Community Drive to Support Tai Po Residents Affected by Fire; Invites Public to List Aid Items with #大埔火災支援

Posted by

HONG KONG, 28 November 2025 – In response to the tragic fire incident in Tai Po on 26 November, Carousell is initiating a community drive to facilitate the donation of supplies and services from Hong Kongers to those affected.

Carousell has observed a spontaneous desire from the community to offer help. To ensure these kind offers are easily discoverable by affected residents and volunteer groups, the platform is unifying these efforts under the hashtag #大埔火災支援 (Tai Po Fire Support). These listings will be aggregated into a dedicated “Tai Po Fire Support” Collection launching on the homepage this Monday, 2 December.

For those wishing to offer assistance, listings can be included in the initiative by adding #大埔火災支援 in the listing title and changing item amount to $0. 

Residents or volunteers seeking specific resources may also create listings detailing their needs. Users are advised to include “Wanted” or ”需求” along with the hashtag #大埔火災支援 in the listing title. 

While the curated collection is being prepared for Monday, the #大埔火災支援 hashtag is fully functional. Users looking for supplies can search this hashtag on the platform to find existing real-time listings.

The community is encouraged to list essential items that are practical for immediate relief and temporary accommodation, such as:

  • Toiletries
  • Clean bedding and warm clothing
  • Offers of free transport/moving services

To respect the dignity of those going through this difficult time, donors are kindly requested to ensure that all items are clean and in good working condition.

Hong Kongers have consistently demonstrated a willingness to support their neighbors during difficult times. As a community-centric platform, Carousell aims to provide the digital infrastructure to connect those who have supplies with those who need them most.

Carousell 發起暖心行動支援大埔火災受影響街坊;邀請公眾以 #大埔火災支援 刊登免費物資

香港,2025 年 11 月 28 日 – 針對 11 月 26 日大埔發生的火災事故,Carousell 發起社區支援行動,協助港人向受影響街坊捐贈物資及提供服務。

Carousell 見到不少港人自發希望能向鄰里伸出援手。為方便受影響街坊及義工團體更容易搜尋物資,平台將透過標籤 #大埔火災支援 統一整合 民眾有意願捐贈的商品。這些物資將會匯集於本週一(12 月 2 日)在主頁推出的「大埔火災支援」專區。

有意提供協助的有心人,可在自己在Carousell上既有的產品標題中加入 #大埔火災支援,及把價格改為”免費贈送“。

如受影響街坊或義工急需特定物資,亦可建立刊登列明需求。建議用戶在標題中註明「需求」字眼,並加上 #大埔火災支援 標籤。

雖然特設專區將於週一正式推出,但 #大埔火災支援 標籤功能現已啟用。急需物資的用戶即日起已可透過搜尋此標籤,尋找現有的即時援助。

我們鼓勵大眾刊登適用於緊急援助及臨時居所的必需品,例如:

  • 洗漱用品
  • 乾淨的寢具及保暖衣物
  • 免費搬運或運輸服務

為顧及受影響人士的感受,請捐贈者確保所有物品均乾淨整潔且運作正常。

港人一向發揮守望相助的精神,在困難時刻支援鄰里。作為以社區為本的平台,Carousell 期望能提供數碼配套,連繫有物資的市民與有需要的人士,讓資源送達最有需要的地方。
