We are pleased to be holding our Chinese New Year Fundraising Dinner again!

Delicious 8 course Chinese dinner to benefit our nationally treasured Tam Kung Temple right here in Victoria, it is the oldest Chinese temple in Canada!
The Tam Kung Temple, the oldest Chinese Temple in Canada, was built in 1912, however this site has housed a Chinese Temple since 1876 until the original building was destroyed in a fire in 1911. It was started by people, for people and over the years continues to provide a Sanctuary, a place to go and a place to belong.
We will have 8 courses of delicious Chinese cuisine followed by decadent desserts from La Roux Patisserie, a local French pastry shop in the heart of Victoria‘s Chinatown. To wish us luck, the Lion Dancers will be blessing us as we enter the beginning of the Year Of The Rabbit.
We gave away over $6800 in prizes! There was 8 different prize packages to be won. What Dad doesn’t want his own private backyard pub, some great local beer, premium steaks, HarbourCats tickets, golfing, cycling, a slick haircut, restaurant gift cards and more!
As 8 is the lucky number in Chinese Culture, we had 8 big prize bundles of local restaurant gift cards plus fortune cookies, white rabbit candy, and chopsticks. Total value of EACH prize bundle is over $295!!
We're out in our red vests lending our hands to five out energy bars, bananas, water and Gatorade for the Ryder Hesjedal's Tour de Victoria! Over 1400 cyclists passed through our tables, all keen to ride some more!!

And a big shout-out to our loyal supports, who had us sell out in 4 days!
With Covid-19 restrictions, the little patients in the pediatric wing at Victoria General Hospital are not allowed to bring their favorite toys from home. The play areas remain closed as no toys can be shared. Partnering with Toys R Us we were able to gather 44 boxes of toys to donate!! The dream was to collect enough toys and funds to keep the toys in the children's wing full up to and including Christmas -which we will definitely be able to do!
For Mother's Day we teamed up with Brentwood Bay Village Empourium to bring you a special tea box containing 17 different sweet and savory items.
Each box is lovingly presented with decorative lined paper, ribbon and flowers/rosemary. All orders received a fresh carnation from Brown's The Florist!
The Village Restaurant - Chinatown location collaborated with us to offer this delicious and unique fundraising Chinese takeout meal kit for 4!
Our 27th year celebrating Chinese New Years and we wanted to share our delicious Chinese food with you! The meal kit requires light cooking at home (15 minutes).
We are pleased to have sold out of our Celebration Package with our sponsorship from Dumpling Drop! Our Zoom presentation with Dumpling Drop founder, cooking ideas and some history of dumplings was a success. Thank you to all our supporters, Dumpling Drop and Silk Road Teas
