The power of volunteers
2023-08-14
The power of an individual may seem to be little, but with the contribution and effort of every volunteer, every week we can continuously collect and distribute food to those in need, reducing the city’s food waste and caring for the grassroots. Bringing together the power of each volunteer do we realize how powerful we can be!
Last week, volunteers took part in the collection and distribution of bread and meal box sharing action in six districts, namely Fo Tan, Tai Po, Fanling, To Kwa Wan, Hung Hom and Causeway Bay.
