Over the course of the last month, Shared Food Fund volunteers have once again shown their unselfish commitment by rushing through alleys and streets to personally deliver bulky food boxes to people in need.  Each kilogramme of recycled material represents the labour and affection of the volunteers, and each serving of food contributes to the community's warmth.

To assist in delivering food to those in need in every area, we need volunteers.  Will you take a moment to appreciate food and lend a hand to others?  We cordially encourage you to sign up as a volunteer.  Our actions can only proceed when each person contributes their own strength.
