After working hard for most of the day, the market cleaner was relaxing in the lounge and getting ready to get off work. "Hello! We received some unsold bread from the bakery. Each of you can get one to eat!" "Thank you, you really came at the right time!" The cleaner was all smiles and happy as if he had received a big gift. 

Through the contributions of volunteers, can we turn leftover food into goodwill and make it more valuable. We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer and contribute to the action of sharing food and helping others.
