「驚蟄」是二十四節氣中第三個節氣,也是春季的第三個節氣,標誌著春季仲春的開始。驚蟄前後天氣轉暖,雨水也開始增多。而驚蟄期間的天氣變化較大,需注意冷暖變化,預防如感冒等的季節性疾病。飲食方面宜清溫平淡,建議選擇菠菜和西芹等的新鮮蔬菜,盡量少吃刺激性、油膩和酸性的食物,隨著「時令」蔬菜的變化,選擇合時蔬菜的好處是,它們在最合適的時候種植和收割,所需農藥會較少,味道也較好;而由於「當造」,產量較多,價格也會較低。


“Hello, granny! We’re here to give out unsold bread. Did you get some cardboards today?” Volunteers often saw her sitting and resting on the roadside and could not help but cared about her conditions. “Today I didn’t get much. I’ll take a break and work again. Thank you for the bread. I’ll eat it after work.” Through food sharing action can waste be reduced and can we care about the people around us. Why don’t we do it?


"Hello, we are coming for distributing bread. We put the bread on the table and you can take one piece when you off-duty, is it ok?" We kindly asked the cleaners. "That's good, thank you very much. We will help finish all of them!" The cleaners' sincere smiles and gratitude are the best returns to the volunteers.


Food Commons Foundation and the district partnering teams always receive diversified excess food donation. Earlier, the Food Common @NT (Yeun Long and Tin Shui Wai)’s Tin Shui Wai Community Development Network had received the donation of baking tart crusts via Feeding Hong Kong. The team had decided to share those baking tart crusts with a secondary school in Tuen Mun and made the delicious fruit tarts by those potential abandoned food during their home economics lesson. The teachers and students were happy with practising environmentally friendly measure by making use of the leftover food to make delicious desserts.


During Chinese New Year, our volunteers were still committed to collecting the bread that could be recycled, in order to reduce the wastage. On the first day of Lunar New Year, our volunteers had also managed to receive the leftover New Year rice cakes so they immediately distributed to those in need, to share the festive joy with them. Those received the cakes were overwhelmed with happiness and expressed their gratitude towards the unpaid volunteers' efforts.


When our volunteers realised the street sleeps living in the areas we get used to distribute food were treated impolitely, we were worried them very much and hoped to share the hot meal boxes with them to send our sympathy.
