The Mission is the mother organization of Bethune House.
The GHKLEC ladies led by their president, Marie Velarde, and their male counterparts from the Grand Hong Kong Eagles Club (GHKEC) led by their president, Alann Mas, turned over the donation to the Mission's General Manager Cynthia Tellez and Bethune House head Edwina Antonio.

The goods were purchased out of proceeds of recent charity fund-raising projects and from members’ monthly dues,” Velarde said.
Hopefully, she added, this will only be the start of the two
groups’ regular donations to the shelter under their motto, “Service Through
Strong Brotherhood.“
The men’s and women’s “Eagles” are a non-sectarian fraternal
group whose members have banded together to do civic and charitable work.
Aside from donations in kind, Bethune House also accepts
cash through its website, www.bethunehouse.org/donate
as well as through bank transfer to its Hang Seng Bank Account: 284-362340-001,
under the name The Bethune House Migrant Women's Refuge Limited.
