With the help of hearty volunteers, food sharing action has now been spread to Tai Wai and Tseung Kwan O. After receiving the surplus bread, the elderly who lived alone and night security guards in Tsueng Kwan O all expressed their joy and thanked us for our selfless contribution. The action does not only avoid wastage of bread, but it also satisfies the need of the members in the neighbourhood.    

We still very much need your support and welcome you to join our volunteer teams. With your participation, can we continue to put the concept of cherishing food and helping others into practice in the community.
