Despite the recent heavy rainfall, volunteers have been diligently attending volunteer activities, ensuring that those in need in various districts receive nourishing food. 

Every day, a significant amount of food is wasted. You are a crucial helper in delivering still-edible food to those in need. We collect leftover bread and meal boxes in various districts every week. Would you be willing to spare a little time to join us in promoting food waste reduction and helping others?

We invite you to register as a volunteer. With everyone contributing their strength, our actions can continue.
