About Love at Mid-Autumn
Love at Mid-Autumn is a special cultural project to refresh traditions, for which we create a special mooncake gift set that we sell with proceeds going to Canadian charities. Our beloved heart-shaped mooncakes are the only ones to exist in the world, presented in a special edition collector’s mooncake tin that is differently themed each year.
Since 2021, the Love at Mid-Autumn project has raised and donated a net of over $272,800 for meaningful causes (Markham Stouffville Hospital, SickKids Foundation, the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital, the Scarborough Health Network, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and the Chinese Canadian Museum). This year’s beneficiaries are the Toronto Symphony Orchestra education and community programs, the Chinese Canadian Museum and the Fête Chinoise Cultural Foundation.
