May Food Monthly Report – Every bite of food is full of warmth

2025-06-09

In the past month, we have once again witnessed the "power of sharing". Under the sunshine of May, volunteers of the Food Commons Foundation continued to move forward, delivering boxes of heavy bread and lunch boxes to cleaners, scavengers, neighbours, homeless people, elderly people living alone and low-income families. A portion of food not only fills the stomach but also warms the heart.

We need the help of volunteers in various regions to deliver food to those in need. Are you willing to spend a little time to cherish food and help others? We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. Only when everyone contributes their own strength can our actions continue.
