After dinner, a group of uncles living alone sat on the benches downstairs of the housing estate to rest. "Uncle, we’ve brought some unsold bread tonight. How about each of you take two home to eat?" "Thank you! You are so thoughtful!" Uncle couldn't help smiling after receiving the bread. The volunteers were also very happy. 

Through the contribution of the volunteers, can we turn the leftover food into a gift of goodwill and pass it on to those in need and make it more valuable. We sincerely invite you to become a volunteer and contribute to the action of cherishing food and helping others.
