香港每日棄置約3,000 公噸廚餘，且絕大部份剩食仍可食用，卻被送往堆填區。 有見及此，共享食物基金連結多個商戶和非牟利機構，現已在全港16個地區進行剩食回收共享工作，包括荃灣、葵芳、青衣、天 水圍、元朗、粉嶺、上水、沙田、大圍、馬鞍山、火炭、大埔、紅磡、土瓜灣、上環、銅鑼灣等。並一直鼓勵社會各界人士支持及參 與，期望將剩食回收共享計劃推展至全港18區，將應對剩食及廚餘的社區經驗推廣給大眾，宣揚惜食文化，同時減少食物浪費，將資源分享給有需要人士。

With the help of hearty volunteers, food sharing action has now been spread to Tai Wai and Tseung Kwan O. After receiving the surplus bread, the elderly who lived alone and night security guards in Tsueng Kwan O all expressed their joy and thanked us for our selfless contribution. The action does not only avoid wastage of bread, but it also satisfies the need of the members in the neighbourhood.

About 3,000 tonnes of food waste is discarded in Hong Kong every day. While most of them are still edible, they are sent to landfills. However, in the community, there are over a million elderly or grassroots people who do not have enough food to eat. Excessive leftover food leads to wastage and increases the load in landfills. Since 2009, Food Commons Foundation’s Food Sharing Action has been connecting organizations in different districts establishing a resource network of solving leftover food problem. Up till now, it has already saved over 10,000 tonnes of surplus food that were supposed to be thrown away in landfills. It shared the same weight as 707 double-decker buses. The total number of beneficiaries was close to 10 million people, including the elderly, low-income people or families, children, disadvantaged groups, etc. 

When we think of where to go on holiday and what delicious food to enjoy and check in, in fact, lots of elderly people and grassroot families in Hong Kong do not have enough food. Yet, Hong Kong’s leftover food problem turns out to be severe. As a charity organization that mainly solves leftover food problems, Food Commons Foundation has “saved” an accumulated 10,000 tonnes of leftover food that were supposed to be sent to landfills! The organization has been recruiting volunteers to participate in food collection action in different districts. If you are concerned about the surplus food problem, how can you give a helping hand?
