The Food Commons Foundation connected a vegetarian restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui with the Angel Valley volunteer team, collecting 34 meal boxes tonight to share the vegetarian buffet with 34 individuals in need in the Sham Shui Po district, including the homeless, low-income individuals, and cleaners. 

We thank the restaurant for their donation and the volunteers for their efforts in purchasing food boxes, saving 17 kilograms of food. Together, we are working to conserve food and help others.

In the cold weather, people need sufficient food intake to resist the chill. Volunteers have been delivering food and warmth to those in need. We thank the volunteers for their efforts and contributions.

We need volunteers in various regions to help deliver food to those who require assistance. Would you be willing to spend a little time helping others? We invite you to register as a volunteer; everyone can contribute their strength, allowing our actions to continue.

The Lunar New Year is approaching! Everyone is busy with visiting and gift-giving. If you receive too many festive foods, to avoid food waste and concerns about overconsumption, we can donate the excess New Year goodies to those in need, sharing love and the festive spirit while conserving food. 

"Minor Cold" is the 23rd solar term, marking the beginning of the winter season. During this time, the weather is cold but not at its extreme. As Minor Cold begins, it is essential to pay attention to keeping the lower body warm by wearing insulated shoes and socks to prevent cold air from entering through the feet, which can lead to a mix of internal cold and dampness.

Dishes Made from Seasonal Vegetables:

1. Tomato Scrambled Eggs

2. North-South Almond Pork Knuckle Soup with Carrots

3. Beetroot, Carrot, and Burdock Soup
