How it's used
This is a formal idiom used primarily in written announcements, speeches, or official invitations to charity events. It carries a sense of prestige and collective responsibility, often appearing in newspapers or on donation banners. While it can be used in spoken Cantonese, it sounds quite sophisticated and is typically reserved for serious or ceremonial contexts.
Examples
Thank you all kind donors for joining this charity effort, it helps many people.
Do you guys want to join this charity effort together and donate some supplies?

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this in casual conversation with friends, which sounds overly dramatic or stiff. It is not appropriate for small, informal acts of kindness, such as buying a friend lunch or helping a neighbor carry groceries.
