When our volunteers realised the street sleeps living in the areas we get used to distribute food were treated impolitely, we were worried them very much and hoped to share the hot meal boxes with them to send our sympathy.
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.
