TVB News Wednesday, February 25, 2026
The new Financial Budget will be announced today, but grassroots livelihood support is facing a crisis of disruption. The results of a survey of opinions of food recycling and sharing program recipients published yesterday showed that if the relevant services are interrupted due to the termination of the grant, the life stress of nearly 70 per cent of the recipients will surge to a critical point.
Some recipients said the food savings saved by the scheme had become a "life-saving money" for purchasing medicines and school supplies for their children, and called on the authorities to implement "precision poverty alleviation" and continue the funding mechanism for community food recycling projects.
