On December 21, 2023, FERD held 2023 Tpark Christmas Charity Market-Paying Love Forward and invited ten non-profit partners, including eight organizations that provide care for the disadvantaged population in the local community and two that provide support in the African nations. The market helps boost their revenues and draw public attention. The event featured “Paying Love Forward.” To encourage the participants to shop at one of the charitable booths, those who made the purchase would receive a small thank-you card filled with love and gratitude. FERD supports the circular economy with actions by using zero waste booths throughout the market. The booths are constructed with PC/PS faux wood, which is made of recycled materials. The entire booth can also be taken apart and reassembled into a new one.

Tpark partnered with Bjorgaas Foundation for the Christmas Charity Market, and the representative from the foundation gave the following feedback: “We are very grateful to the organizer’s invitation to take part in 2023 Tpark Christmas Charity Market-Paying Love Forward. It gave us the opportunity to meet everyone in December, a month of appreciation, and to share our belief, ‘Bjorgaas, Together We Can.’ We appreciate the organizer’s thoughtfulness. They decorated the market with cute African animals, encouraged participants to support the non-profit organizations and their reward programs, and put in promotional efforts before the event… Though a cold front was coming through, we felt the warmth of the care and passion from the staff at Tpark. It was truly touching that they spent the time to listen to the needs of the people in the Republic of Malawi in Africa and to understand the service programs offered by Bjorgaas Foundation. They also spent the money, giving substantive support, and many people cheered for us. These are the warmest support in the cold winter. Thank you.”
