It was freezing last week, but volunteers still worked tirelessly to deliver food to those in need. "Hello! We’ve collected the leftover bread from the bakery and can give two to you as a late-night snack." The volunteer friendly asked the night guard. "Okay! Thank you!" The security guard put away the bread with a smile. "The weather is so freezing and you still have to work all night long. It's hard work!"  

Many people in society need food and you are the most important assistant, delivering food that would otherwise be wasted to those in need. Every week, we collect leftover bread and meal boxes in various districts. Are you willing to spend a little time saving food and helping others? 

We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. Only by contributing your own strength can our action carry on.
