[News from this newspaper]The new Financial Budget will be announced today, 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.
