The weather gradually became cloudy and uncertain, and the sudden heavy rain more or less affected our actions. Yet, no matter whether it’s sunny or rainy, the original intention of the volunteers remains the same and they will continue to act and share food with those in need as long as it is safe. 

A lot of leftover food is wasted every day, and you are the most important little helper, delivering edible food to those in need. We collect leftover bread and meal boxes in various districts every week. Are you willing to spend a little time to save food and help others? 

We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. With the contribution and effort of each individual can our actions continue.
