The sky is clear after the rain and volunteers continued with their action. During the distribution of bread period, a volunteer discovered a granny sitting near the roadside and gave her the bread on hand. It was unexpected she was so touched that she burst into tears and immediately kept saying thank you. Through collecting and sharing food did we come across the neglected in the community and spread warmth and care to their hearts.  

Food sharing action has now been spread to Sheung Shui. We still very much need your support and welcome you to join us as a volunteer. With your participation, we can put the concept of cherishing food and helping others into practice in more communities.
