A volunteer was looking for someone in need on the street and found a scavenger working in a corner under the bridge in the middle of the road. So, he carefully crossed the road and approached her. 

"Hello! Do you need some bread? There’re some leftovers from the bakery tonight which is still edible!" "Thank you!" The scavenger thanked the volunteer from the bottom of her heart and the volunteer was very satisfied. 

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