How can we truly help students understand the importance of "cherishing resources"?

Instead of sitting in the classroom listening to lectures, let's take them to a recycling site firsthand. Since 2009, the "Food Commons Foundation" and its predecessor projects have recycled over 11,373 metric tons of food, benefiting over 10.07 million people. This deep-rooted community foundation provides the perfect venue for students to learn about life education and sustainable development.

School Power and Food Save Together!

We sincerely thank the many schools, parents, and students for their generous donations! This love from the school proves that students and parents absolutely have the power to protect this "community food safety net."

The commitment to saving food and helping people needs the support of businesses to continue!

Since 2009, the "Food Commons Foundation" and its predecessor projects have recycled over 11,373 metric tons of food, benefiting over 10.07 million people. However, with government funding nearing its end, this community-protecting "market recycling project" is facing an unprecedented challenge of closure.

We cordially invite our corporate partners to participate in the "Step by Step • Food Save Walkathon". Currently, every $1 donated can be converted into approximately $6.5 of fresh, nutritious food; your support will directly safeguard this "community food safety net" that cares for underprivileged seniors and families.

Today is Lichun, the first of the twenty-four solar terms, marking the start of spring. As the saying goes, "One day after Lichun, the water warms by three degrees," signifying the initial rise of Yang energy and the revival of all things, though the weather remains unpredictable. Diet should align with the "growth" nature of spring, choosing pungent, sweet, and lightly flavorful foods to help the body's Yang energy rise.

Since 2009, Food Commons and its predecessor projects have been promoting sustainable food recovery under the principle of “collect locally, distribute locally.” Over the years, we have rescued more than 11,373 metric tons of edible food, benefiting over 10.07 million people. To learn more about our work, please visit our online newsletter.

However, with government policies shifting towards large-scale food waste treatment and the imminent conclusion of our government-funded market recovery project, this work—carrying social, environmental, and economic value—is facing unprecedented challenges. In fact, every HK$1 donation can be transformed into approximately HK$6.5 worth of fresh, nutritious food, supporting hundreds of grassroots families and elderly each week. Without continued support, this safety net protecting our community will be forced to shrink, and fresh food may once again be discarded.

Therefore, we sincerely invite you to join the upcoming “Step by Step • Food Save Walkathon”, walking together with fellow Food Savers to safeguard food and protect our community.

This Lunar New Year, in addition to donating excess gift boxes to those in need, we sincerely invite you to participate in this year's new initiative – "Sharing Red Envelopes".

Even a small donation like a red envelope, though small, can add up to a significant amount and become a vital force helping us continue our service. Let's celebrate this time of reunion while also bringing warmth to the community.

Our friends' hearts were warmed by 500 lovely presents!

Today, we got a fantastic surprise! We sincerely appreciate the Cookie Quartet's kind offering of 500 cookie boxes.
