"Hello! We're here to deliver bread!" "I'm so happy to see you. Thank you!" "You're welcome. Cleaning is very hard. Remember to eat the bread after you're done!" A simple conversation conveying care and goodwill and thanking the market cleaners for their contribution. 

A lot of food is wasted every day. Volunteers collect leftover bread and meal boxes in various districts every week and distribute them to those in need. Are you willing to give a helping hand and cherish food and help others? We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. If everyone contributes a little time and energy, our actions can continue.  

** Now anyone who participates in a volunteer activity can also participate in the volunteer outing on 13th January to meet more like-minded volunteers. 

** We will prepare electronic volunteer certificates of appreciation for volunteers who attend more than 4 times every six months (January-June / July-December) 

** Volunteers who have participated more than 4 times can evaluate whether it is suitable to bring children with them.
