It was mid-autumn festival last week and all volunteers still did not forget to cherish food and help others. On the night of the full moon, volunteers worked hard to collect food in different districts and share the collected mooncakes, bread and meal boxes with grassroots neighbours and the homeless spreading the festive blessings and joy to their hearts through food.  

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