January in Hong Kong is an extremely dry month, with humidity dropping to as low as 17%. The chilly north wind leaves skin cracked, and even breathing feels cold. On these quiet and desolate winter nights, the streetlights still shine, and a group of residents continue to toil for a living or seek shelter in this dry and cold environment.

On the driest and coldest nights, the connection between people becomes the most comforting "supply." This bread and lunchbox, delivered by volunteers, is more than just a meal; it's like a warm current flowing into the dry depths of winter.

We cordially invite you to register as a volunteer. Your participation will help these saved foods reach those in need more effectively!

Last night we had a happy dinner with 45 food-conscious old friends and family members in Sha Tin!

The elderly were seen chatting and laughing with their grandchildren while tasting the hot rice noodles of their choice. The scene was filled with happy laughter. What moved us the most was the elders holding the hands of their colleagues and saying thank you. We then tell our old friends: This warmth comes from the generous sponsorship of  "TamJai SamGor Rice Noodles"!

The results showed that the program succeeded in turning limited resources into far-reaching social returns. The Fund calls on the government to affirm the diverse social benefits of such programs when examining resource use and continue support for community food recycling projects.

The new Financial Budget will be announced tomorrow (25), but grassroots livelihood support is facing a crisis of disruption. The results of a survey on the opinions of food recycling and sharing program recipients published today (24) show 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. The 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.
