It was freezing last week, but volunteers still worked tirelessly to deliver food to those in need. "Hello! We’ve collected the leftover bread from the bakery and can give two to you as a late-night snack." The volunteer friendly asked the night guard. "Okay! Thank you!" The security guard put away the bread with a smile. "The weather is so freezing and you still have to work all night long. It's hard work!"  

Recently, many new volunteers have joined Food Commons volunteer team. No matter whether they are men or women, old or young, they are full of enthusiasm and hope to reduce food waste and help others through practical actions. 

The government will implement municipal solid waste (MSW) charging in April this year. This move is believed to reduce the load on landfills and can also cultivate the habit of collecting and processing general household waste and food waste separately among the public. It also helps deepen the impression of separate recycling. However, many members of the public say they do not understand the garbage levy's details. It is recommended to allocate more resources, use economic incentives to encourage food recycling, reduce waste at source and strengthen publicity and education about garbage levy. Then citizens can better understand its original intention and operational details and put the concept of food wise into practice. The following are relevant comments: 

「你好，我哋嚟派飯㗎！」清潔工見到義工，立即滿面笑容：「多謝你哋！你哋真係好啦！」「做完嘢快啲食飯啦！唔好擺太耐。」義工懷著一顆感恩的心，將食物轉送到有需要的人手上，不但能減少浪費又可以幫助別人。

義工活動不僅讓我們能夠幫助他人，更能帶給我們喜悅和滿足感，每一個微笑、每一句感謝的話語，都是我們最珍貴的回報。

「婆婆你好！食咗飯未呀？今日有無執到紙皮？」義工重遇相熟的拾荒者，遞上一個熱飯盒之餘，不禁關心她最近的情況。每日都有很多食物被棄置，透過持續地分享食物，不但能減少浪費，更可以關心社區內不被重視的人。
