Participating in food collection and sharing

In Tai Po, the Food Commons Foundation has been encouraging the sharing and recycling of food waste. Every member of the community has a role. We hope to help through information exchange even though we are not on the front lines of rescue.

The rainbow disappears, and the chill begins to condense. The "Minor Snow"  begins tomorrow, marking the beginning of snowfall in the north and the intensification of damp cold in the south. At this time, the yin energy of heaven and earth increases while the yang energy lies dormant. The goal of health preservation is "nourishing the kidney essence and keeping warm to prevent cold," and the kidneys benefit from a warm, nourishing diet.

As the weather turns cooler, it's the perfect time to learn how to make the most of winter ingredients and cook warm and seasonal dishes! This winter, we've once again invited nutritionist Sharon Chan to share her seasonal food-saving tips:

-Seasonal ingredient utilisation tips: Select and store samples to reduce waste.

-Food conservation and low-carbon eating concepts: enhancing food value and sustainability

-Combining food therapy with healthy eating recommendations

-Creative and quick recipe sharing: nutritious, convenient, and delicious!

Date: 20th December,2025 (Saturday)

Time: 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Venue: Lek Yuen Community Hall, Shatin

It's that time of year again for Xinhui tangerines! This year's tangerines are still being harvested in batches:

Second-Grade Tangerines: Sweet and refreshing, already available.

Large-Grade Tangerines: Even sweeter, will continue to be available until mid-December.

While you're buying Xinhui tangerines to dry into tangerine peel, remember not to waste the tangerine pulp! Every year, tonnes of tangerine pulp are discarded, which is a real shame. This year, we're appealing again: there are many new ways to cook tangerine pulp; let's all cherish food and reduce waste!

Last week, we hosted an internal "Food Surplus Upgrade" training event for a company!

Through a fun and engaging workshop, we helped participants rethink the value of "overfeeding"—despite food surplus, many people still face food insecurity. This event not only raised environmental awareness but also inspired everyone to put their creativity into practice in the workplace, turning small actions into significant changes.
